Uruguayan Delegation Visits COPEG Facilities
November 21, 2023

A delegation of five technical experts from the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture, and Fisheries of Uruguay visited the COPEG facilities this September. The main objective of this mission was to gain insight and technical knowledge regarding the actions currently being carried out by #TeamCOPEG to control the rise in screwworm cases observed in several provinces.

Additionally, guidance was provided on administrative procedures and the setup of a sterile fly dispersal center, which will receive flies produced at COPEG’s Production Plant as part of the collaboration with Uruguay’s soon-to-be-launched Screwworm Control Program. According to the plan, the program will begin in the southern region of Uruguay, which will be divided into four zones. The eradication phase is expected to take one year, followed by a maintenance phase.

We are pleased to support our Uruguayan colleagues by sharing our collaborative experience in a screwworm control program that will bring significant benefits to the agricultural sector in their region. We look forward to continuing our joint efforts to achieve the established goals and to strengthen the partnership between both organizations.
