Chihuahua detects four cases of screwworm

Livestock farmers face mobility restrictions and receive federal support to contain the plague.

The Chihuahua Regional Livestock Union confirmed this Friday four cases of screwworm in the state. The outbreaks are located in the municipalities of Coronado, La Cruz, San Francisco del Oro and Parral.

Álvaro Bustillos, head of the union, explained that the only effective solution is to release fertile flies. Currently there are more than 100 million copies from Panama ready for distribution.

“Chihuahua at this moment has several issues; one is that a positive case appears and when positive cases appear, mobility in that area is limited; in this case, as happened with Parral, we bring challenges between states for the mobility of livestock,” said Bustillos.

To prevent spread, protocols similar to those for export are applied. Cattle entering Chihuahua from Coahuila and Durango must be free of the parasite and meet the same requirements as for sending them to the United States.

The livestock leader warned that the situation should not be stigmatized. The closure of borders has already affected the economy of the sector. “It is a priority that ranchers can market their livestock without limitations in areas where there are cases,” he said.

Containment measures

Since the first case appeared in Parral, two weeks ago, brigades from SENASICA and the State Government have been working in the focal and perifocal perimeter. In a radius of 20 kilometers, anti-larvicidal baths are carried out at no cost to producers.

The State Government has provided care kits to prevent the screwworm from spreading. The first case was detected on July 14 in Hidalgo del Parral.
