Despite the detection of a new case of a browser worm in a bovine in Tabasco, the United States will not restrict imports of Mexican cattle, according to the US Department of Agriculture.
The case was reported just weeks after exports resume after the suspension imposed by the US in November due to an outbreak in Chiapas.
However, the United States Ministry of Agriculture (USDA) assured that there are now updated inspection and treatment protocols, so that the trade in standing between the two countries will continue without new restrictions.

Mexico notified the new case to the World Health Organization (OMSA), but the Ministry of Agriculture has not issued comments about it.
The Secretary of Agriculture, Julio Berdegué, had announced at the beginning of February the signing of agreements to reactivate exports, after work tables between both governments.
Mexico exports more than one million calves and heifers to US every year, mainly from border states, which makes the livestock sector a key part of the commercial relationship between the two countries.
