Mexico has released 73.9 million sterile flies in the northwest of the country, specifically in Chihuahua and Sonora, to stop the advance of the cattle screw worm plague. The National Service for Animal Health, Food Safety and Quality (Senasica) has also inspected and treated over 100,000 animals with preventive medications. This effort comes ahead of the resumption of live cattle exports to the United States through Agua Prieta, Sonora. The reopening of the Douglas port ended over a year of intermittent closures due to the plague's advancement.
