Overview
- Federal and state health agencies report the outbreak has infected several hundred people in Mexico with two confirmed deaths and active animal outbreaks in multiple states.
- Honduran authorities say the country recorded 176 human cases in 2026 and a third confirmed death, underlining regional spread beyond Mexico.
- Jalisco confirmed its first human case in Pihuamo, a 47‑year‑old man with diabetes hospitalized in Colima, and Mexico City now reports human cases concentrated in Tlalpan, Xochimilco and Álvaro Obregón.
- Health teams have deployed trapping, sanitary cordons and case follow‑up, and Mexico plans to open a sterile‑fly production plant in Chiapas in late June to support mass sterile‑male releases that reduce fly populations.
- Officials urge wound hygiene, prompt medical or veterinary care for open lesions, and special attention for diabetics, the elderly and immunosuppressed people because larvae hatch within 12–24 hours and feed on living tissue.
