US to reopen border to Mexican cattle imports after screwworm ban

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The United States will resume importing cattle from Mexico starting August 24, over a year after a ban was imposed due to the New World screwworm. The reopening will initially focus on the Douglas, Arizona border crossing, with plans to expand to New Mexico crossings later. Despite the ban, screwworm cases have recently been detected in Texas and New Mexico, and over 1,700 active cases are reported in Mexico. Imports will require compliance with a joint action plan and inspections to prevent the parasite's entry. AI
