Developments: 2. In early August 2026, Mexico’s federal and state health secretariats rolled out a wide‑ranging set of preventive actions against zoonotic and food‑borne threats. Measures included warnings about the livestock‑infesting Gusano Barrenador in Chihuahua, vector‑control campaigns against dengue‑carrying Aedes aegypti in the Mexico City metro area, food‑handling guidelines in Querétaro, gastrointestinal disease outreach in Coahuila, and the expansion of free primary‑care services in Aguascalientes. A few days later, the focus narrowed to mosquito control. In Hidalgo, Mexico, the National Water Commission conducted fumigation around the Rojo Gómez reservoir, coordinated with the National Center for Preventive Programs and Disease Control. Simultaneously, Don Benito, Spain, approved a municipal vector‑surveillance plan targeting West Nile virus, employing larvicides, adult mosquito control, and promotion of natural predators. Both initiatives underscore a coordinated, multi‑level effort to curb vector‑borne diseases in the region. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-08: Mexico and Spain ramp up mosquito control measures to prevent disease Conagua in Mexico and Don Benito in Spain launch coordinated mosquito control actions to curb disease risk, including fumigation, larvicide treatments, and natural predator promotion. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexico-and-spain-ramp-up-mosquito-control-measures-to-prevent-disease ### 2026-08-05: Mexican health agencies launch disease‑prevention measures across states Mexican health agencies issue advisories on livestock parasite, dengue mosquito, food safety, gastrointestinal disease and expand free health‑center services. 14 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexico-and-costa-rica-tighten-livestock-disease-prevention-after-new-parasite-and-rabies-cases --- Cite as: Mexico-Spain mosquito control efforts.
