At 23:00 UTC, MAGA Guatemala issued a warning about the screwworm (Gusano Barrenador), highlighting its impact on warm-blooded animals and encouraging preventive care. The post read: "El #GusanoBarrenador puede afectar a cualquier animal de sangre caliente, por ello recomendamos atender cualquier herida o lesión para prevenir esta enfermedad. Recuerde que puede reportar casos en tiempo real a través de nuestra app. Descárguela a través del siguiente".
The screwworm is recognized as an invasive pest capable of causing severe damage to livestock by infesting wounds and can have significant economic impacts if not controlled through prompt treatment and reporting mechanisms. Agricultural authorities in various countries recommend early intervention and digital reporting tools to contain outbreaks efficiently.
MAGA Guatemala's initiatives reflect ongoing efforts within the country to improve agricultural knowledge dissemination and disease prevention strategies among rural communities.
