ANALYSIS: New World Screwworm Cases Extend Into Northern Mexico
According to SENASICA data compiled by Expana, the New World Screwworm situation in Mexico continues to show a gradual northward movement, with recent cases reaching as close as roughly 140 to 160 miles from the US border. In Nuevo León, the first case was reported in early April, initially detected in a canine host, and has since increased to 21 active cases. Coahuila followed toward the end of April, with its first confirmed case now reaching 4 active cases. These developments come nearly one year after feeder cattle exports to the US were suspended in May, with a brief reopening attempt in July later paused, keeping trade restrictions in place as cases continue to appear in northern states.
