最新报道:Mexico has allocated $30 million to a sterile fly campaign aimed at curbing the spread of screwworms, which threaten livestock and contribute to rising beef prices. The initiative involves releasing sterile flies to disrupt the reproductive cycle of the parasitic pest, protecting cattle herds. Agriculture officials emphasized the economic importance of controlling the outbreak to stabilize beef production and prices. The program builds on past successful efforts in the region, targeting areas with high infestation rates. Authorities warn that unchecked screwworm populations could severely impact Mexico's beef industry, a key sector for domestic consumption and exports.
