美国宣布将于8月24日开始恢复因新大陆蝇蛆病疫情暂停超过一年的墨西哥牛类进口[1]。美国农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯将通过信件通知这一决定[1]。
进口工作将首先在亚利桑那州道格拉斯的边境口岸启动[1]。进口的牛类将接受检查，以防止蝇蛆幼虫进入美国[1]。
墨西哥的蝇蛆病疫情始于2024年11月，目前已蔓延至该国32个州中的29个州，现存活跃病例1,792个[1]。美国得州和新墨西哥州东部已分别发现超过30例感染[1]。墨西哥畜牧业部门估计进口禁令已造成数百万美元的经济损失[1]。
The United States announced plans to begin lifting its suspension on Mexican cattle imports beginning August 24, more than a year after the ban was implemented [1]. The suspension was imposed due to the outbreak of New World screwworm in Mexico [1].
The initial resumption of imports will occur at the Douglas border crossing in Arizona [1]. Imported cattle will undergo inspection to prevent screwworm larvae from entering the United States [1]. The decision will be communicated through a letter from U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brook Rosenblatt [1].
The New World screwworm outbreak in Mexico began in November 2024 and has since spread to 29 of the country's 32 states [1]. Mexico currently has 1,792 active cases [1]. The disease has also been detected in the United States, with more than 30 cases confirmed in eastern New Mexico and Texas [1].
The import suspension has inflicted significant economic damage, with Mexico's livestock agency estimating losses in the millions of dollars [1].
