Overview
- The Agriculture Ministry registered a draft agreement with Conamer to expand the GBG emergency operation to the entire country, pending entry into force after publication in the federal gazette.
- The proposal makes compliance mandatory for anyone entering or traveling in Mexico with susceptible animals, explicitly including dogs, cats and birds.
- Animal movements would require a CZM supported by macrocyclic lactone treatment 3–5 days prior, a larvicide bath and physical inspection, with re-treatment if movements occur after 6–15 days or a restart after 15 days.
- Jalisco reported its first confirmed GBG case in Encarnación de Díaz during a corral inspection, and authorities said it was contained under established protocols.
- Authorities and industry cite progress on containment and plan to scale sterile-fly releases from about 100 million toward 300–400 million per week via new plants in Chiapas and Texas, while the U.S. suspension of live-cattle imports remains in place during ongoing talks.
