Mexico resumes livestock sales to US under tight controls over screwworm risk
The United States is set to resume livestock imports from Mexico starting August 24th at the Douglas, Arizona border crossing, ending a yearlong ban. However, shipments are subject to strict new regulations and inspections designed to prevent the spread of the New World screwworm fly parasite. Authorities note that while Mexican cases have declined, eradication will still take time.
