US EditionUSDA halts live animal imports through US-Mexico border
- On Sunday, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced an immediate halt to the entry of live cattle, horses, and bison through border crossings along the southern United States due to concerns over the New World screwworm pest.
- The suspension responded to the detected spread of the damaging New World screwworm pest despite a recent U.S.-Mexico agreement on pest control.
- The pest infects livestock and wildlife by burrowing larvae into their skin, causing often fatal damage, with recent detections about 700 miles from the border.
- Rollins stated the import ban is effective immediately and may continue monthly, while Mexico’s Agriculture Secretary Julio Berdegué opposed it but hopes for a prompt resolution.
- The suspension aims to halt the pest’s northward spread after previous outbreaks took decades to recover from and acknowledges economic impacts on both countries.
