Overview
- State brigades in Sinaloa have inspected more than 3,518 animals and confirmed 22 active cases distributed across nine municipalities, with a 23rd accumulated case recorded as closed.
- Authorities confirmed one infection in a dog among the accumulated cases and say the larva of the fly Cochliomyia hominivorax infests wounds and newborns, with rain and humidity increasing risk.
- Laboratory tests validated the first Sinaloa case in Agua Verde, El Rosario, and officials say confirmed animals receive cure, treatment and desinfestation through coordinated field teams.
- Nuevo León and federal authorities agreed to open 22 inspection and treatment points that will cut per-animal inspection costs to about 100 pesos and formalize sanitary controls for moving livestock.
- Officials urge producers and pet owners to check wounds, report suspected infections to Senasica or local emergency teams for free official treatment, and to keep newborns and birthing animals protected from flies.
