SUMMARY:NISAW Webinar: Current Situation of the New World Screwworm in Mexico
DESCRIPTION:The New World screwworm remains one of the most serious transboundary threats to animal health\, livelihoods\, and public health in the Americas. In this webinar\, participants will learn about the current situation of the New World screwworm in Mexico and the actions being carried out to prevent its spread and protect both livestock and people. \n\n\n\nThis presentation will outline Mexico’s national control efforts\, including surveillance\, response strategies\, and coordination among veterinary\, agricultural\, and regulatory agencies. Attendees will hear about the results achieved to date and how early detection\, rapid intervention\, and sustained management are critical to limiting impacts. \n\n\n\nBeyond economic losses\, New World screwworm infestations pose direct risks to animal welfare and human health. The larvae can infest wounds in livestock\, wildlife\, pets\, and humans\, causing severe tissue damage and\, in untreated cases\, life threatening complications. By highlighting Mexico’s ongoing control actions\, this webinar underscores the importance of invasive species prevention and response as a frontline defense for public health\, food security\, and cross border biosecurity. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGabriel Ayala-Borunda\, Director General of Animal Health\, of the National Service for Health\, Safety and Agri-Food Quality (SENASICA) in MexicoGabriel Ayala-Borunda is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine with a Master’s degree in Microbiology and serves as Director General of Animal Health at the National Service for Health\, Safety and Agri-Food Quality (SENASICA) in Mexico.
