Health and educational authorities in Mexico have initiated fumigation and sanitary surveillance programs across various regions to prepare schools for the upcoming academic year.

In Navojoa and the Central Region, local officials and the Secretaría de Educación y Cultura (SEC) are coordinating pest control efforts at secondary schools and other educational facilities. Authorities have emphasized the importance of removing weeds and standing water to prevent mosquito breeding following recent rains.

In Tepetitlán, Hidalgo, the National Water Commission (Conagua) launched a specific campaign targeting more than 40 schools to control the Culex mosquito population near the Endhó Dam. This operation, involving thermal fogging, is part of a broader Master Plan for the Recovery of the Endhó Dam and follows periodic fumigation cycles that began in May.
