E-mailMEXICO CITY, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Mexico's Sonora state has activated emergency surveillance, containment, and control protocols following the detection of its first case of screwworm, Governor Alfonso Durazo said on Wednesday.
"We reinforced the sanitary cordon and actions in the area to prevent its spread and protect the health status of our state," the governor said on social media website X.
The detection comes as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prepares to lift a ban on Mexican cattle imports in the coming week.
