In Panama and the United States, they are working together on a strategy to eradicate the screwworm. As of October 19, a total of 19,970 cases of this pest affecting mainly livestock have been reported in the country.
According to authorities from the National Animal Health Service (SENASA) of Panama, this parasite affects the livestock sector and is a concern for the country's economy. For this reason, a joint strategy with U.S. experts is being sought to combat it effectively.
The representative of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Panama mentioned that they are working on control measures to reduce the incidence of the screwworm in the country. Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of collaboration between the two nations to protect the livestock industry.
In this regard, an exchange of experiences and knowledge between specialists from Panama and the United States is taking place. This cooperation is expected to allow for the implementation of more effective actions to combat the screwworm and protect livestock production in the region.
One of the main goals is to significantly reduce the presence of this parasite in Panama and ensure the health of the livestock. With this strategic alliance, it is intended to strengthen prevention and control measures to eradicate the screwworm and protect the livestock industry in the country.
