The U.S.-Mexico border has partly reopened to cattle imports for the first time in a year, following restrictions put in place after a screwworm infestation spread across the region, according to the New York Times Business.

The outlet said the campaign to control the flesh-eating fly is not over yet, with efforts now underway deep in Mexico.

For livestock trade, the development signals an initial step toward normalization even as authorities continue working to prevent the infestation from expanding further.
