Overview
- A single bovine in a 67‑head shipment was identified with gusano barrenador del ganado during a third inspection in Ezequiel Montes.
- SENASICA treated the animal, collected diagnostic samples, administered preventive ivermectin to the remaining 66 cattle, and activated the incursion response protocol.
- Four brigades with 20 veterinarians were deployed and a 40‑kilometer surveillance zone was established for tracing, clinical checks and wound care.
- Querétaro’s agriculture agency activated its Plan de Atención in coordination with the Mexico–U.S. CPA, SADER, SENASICA, the regional livestock union and municipal authorities.
- The detection follows recent cases in Nuevo León traced to movements from Chiapas, with live cattle exports to the U.S. still halted and industry losses estimated at about $1.3 billion and 650,000 head deferred.
