Overview
- Mexico’s agriculture ministry registered an anteproyecto at the Conamer portal to extend the GBG emergency to all regions, with effect once published in the Diario Oficial.
- The proposal makes controls obligatory for anyone moving susceptible animals, explicitly including birds, dogs and cats, and tightens CZM requirements with macrocyclic lactone treatment 3–5 days before movement, a larvicide bath and physical inspection, with re‑treatment if delays occur.
- Sader reported the first confirmed GBG detection in Jalisco at a feedlot in Encarnación de Díaz in a shipment from the south‑southeast; authorities say the case was contained after protocols were activated and a detection dog flagged the affected animal.
- Guerrero’s agriculture agency confirmed its first bovine case in Tecoanapa, applied treatment and sanitary sweeps, and described the incident as isolated and under control.
- The outbreak has reached at least 13 states with thousands of confirmed animal cases as the U.S. suspension of Mexican live‑cattle imports remains in place, and industry leaders highlight sterile‑insect capacity expansions in Chiapas and Texas aiming to boost weekly releases to 300–400 million flies.
