José Noé Rizo Amézquita is an expert in epidemiology and a researcher at the Inter-American Conference on Social Security (CISS). He recently gained media attention for his insights on the risks associated with the gusano barrenador, a parasitic fly that poses a significant threat to livestock and, in rare cases, humans. Rizo has underscored the importance of government actions aimed at controlling this pest, while warning that without proper management, the infestation could spread to various species, including pets. He has also highlighted the need for continuous monitoring of livestock health to prevent outbreaks.
