Mexico Reports Gusano Barrenador Cases in Jalisco, Hidalgo and San Luis Potosí

Officials mount coordinated inspections with treatment brigades, ruling out quarantines or culling.

Overview

  • Jalisco’s agriculture secretariat confirmed six active cases and set up itinerant verification routes to curb spread through animal movements, with cases in Pihuamo, Tecalitlán, Cuautitlán de García Barragán, Santa María del Oro and Encarnación de Díaz.
  • Hidalgo authorities, citing SENASICA, reported nine confirmed cases across seven municipalities and said six additional samples remain under diagnosis.
  • Technical brigades in affected areas are conducting herd checks, treating wounds, disinfecting corrals and monitoring the fly responsible to contain dissemination.
  • San Luis Potosí tallied 19 cases in the Huasteca and reported presence across all 21 municipalities there, with newly detected infections in dogs receiving treatment and no animals culled to date.
  • SENASICA advises producers to report suspected cases via 800 751 21 00 or WhatsApp at 55 39 96 44 62, and Jalisco officials emphasize no food-safety risk from properly processed meat.
