El USDA hace un llamado a los residentes de Texas para proteger los cítricos locales de plagas invasoras

PRESS RELEASE - Wed, 23 Apr 2025 14:00:04

WASHINGTON, DC — 23 de abril de 2025 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — El Servicio de Inspección de Sanidad Animal y Vegetal (APHIS, por sus siglas en inglés) del Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA) hace un llamado a los residentes del Valle del Río Grande (LRGV) para que tomen medidas proactivas a fin …

WASHINGTON, DC — 23 de abril de 2025 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — El Servicio de Inspección de Sanidad Animal y Vegetal (APHIS, por sus siglas en inglés) del Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA) hace un llamado a los residentes del Valle del Río Grande (LRGV) para que tomen medidas proactivas a fin de proteger los árboles cítricos locales contra plagas y enfermedades invasoras.

Una mosca de la fruta (Anastrepha ludens), detectada por primera vez en el centro de México, ha estado atacando los cítricos en el sur de Texas durante varias temporadas. La mosca mexicana de la fruta pone en riesgo cultivos locales como el pomelo y la naranja, especialmente en los condados de Cameron, Hidalgo y Willacy, donde se han implementado cuarentenas con el objetivo de erradicar esta plaga.

La mosca invasiva de la fruta, originaria de México y Centroamérica, representa una amenaza significativa para más de 50 tipos de frutas y hortalizas, incluidos los cítricos y los mangos. Las hembras de la mosca (A. ludens) depositan sus huevos en frutas en proceso de maduración, y las larvas que emergen se alimentan de la pulpa, arruinando el fruto. Esta plaga ha sido un problema recurrente en los condados del sur de Texas que colindan con México.

El cumplimiento, por parte de los residentes, de las cuarentenas estatales y federales, así como la disposición para declarar materiales agrícolas que ingresan a los Estados Unidos, son factores esenciales para eliminar esta amenaza.

El enverdecimiento de los cítricos, o Huanglongbing, es una enfermedad causada por la bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus y se transmite principalmente a través del psílido asiático de los cítricos. Una vez infectado, un árbol puede permanecer asintomático durante mucho tiempo antes de comenzar a producir menos frutos, los cuales suelen ser parcialmente verdes, más pequeños, deformes y amargos. Las hojas pueden presentar manchas y formas irregulares. Con el tiempo, el árbol puede mostrar señales de deterioro y caída prematura de los frutos. El enverdecimiento de los cítricos representa una grave amenaza para los cítricos en Texas.

Otras enfermedades como el cancro de los cítricos, la mancha negra de los cítricos y la sarna de la naranja dulce también suponen un riesgo para los cultivos cítricos en Texas. APHIS y el Departamento de Agricultura de Texas (TDA, por sus siglas en inglés) mantienen cuarentenas estatales y federales paralelas para varias enfermedades cítricas en el estado. Estas cuarentenas restringen el movimiento de artículos regulados, como plantas cítricas de vivero, y protegen los cítricos y otras frutas en zonas no infestadas tanto dentro como fuera de Texas. Nuestros funcionarios agrícolas están realizando inspecciones y monitoreos de árboles frutales en jardines residenciales y propiedades comerciales para detectar señales de plagas y enfermedades invasoras, con el fin de proteger los cítricos de Texas y la economía agrícola local.

Cómo puede ayudar

Colabore con las inspecciones: Permita que los funcionarios agrícolas autorizados del USDA y del TDA inspeccionen los árboles cítricos en su propiedad. El personal agrícola portará una identificación oficial de su agencia estatal o federal.

Deseche cuidadosamente la fruta madura y los restos de poda: En las áreas bajo cuarentena, deseche correctamente la fruta caída o no deseada, así como los restos de poda, colocándolos en dos bolsas y depositándolos con los residuos domésticos para evitar atraer plagas. Evite hacer abono en zonas en cuarentena.

No traslade frutas o plantas cultivadas en casa: Evite mover cítricos u otras plantas cultivadas en casa fuera de las zonas bajo cuarentena para prevenir la propagación de insectos invasores o enfermedades vegetales a otras áreas. No envíe frutas ni plantas cultivadas en casa por correo. Tenga cuidado al comprar frutas: elija fuentes confiables. No compre frutas anunciadas en redes sociales ni vendidas por personas en patios traseros o desde vehículos estacionados.

Manténgase Informado: Infórmese sobre las cuarentenas locales, reporte señales de plagas invasoras y cumpla con las regulaciones locales para ayudarnos a erradicar estas amenazas de manera rápida y eficaz. Para reportar señales de moscas de la fruta invasoras o enfermedades de los cítricos a los funcionarios agrícolas locales, llame al:

  • (956) 421-4041 en los condados de Cameron, Webb y Willacy;
  • (956) 632-5300 para moscas de la fruta y (956) 205-7702 para enfermedades de los cítricos en el condado de Hidalgo;
  • o al (956) 726-2225 en los condados de Webb o Zapata.

Juntos, podemos reducir las pérdidas en los cultivos agrícolas, proteger los empleos y las economías locales, y reducir los costos de los alimentos para los consumidores estadounidenses.

The holidays can be beautiful… but for many grieving parents — especially special needs parents — this season hurts in ways most people never see.

Between disrupted routines, sensory overload, and the ache of missing someone you love, December can feel overwhelming. And here’s what most don’t realize:

Nearly HALF of Christians stop attending church after losing a loved one… not because they’ve lost their faith, but because they feel the church doesn’t know how to walk with them through grief.
These families aren’t leaving God —
they’re leaving because they feel unseen in their pain.

As someone who advocates for families of ALL abilities, I’m sharing a new blog post today on how we can support grieving loved ones — especially special needs parents — with compassion, faith, and presence this holiday season.

If someone in your life is grieving, please don’t stay silent.
Say their loved one’s name.
Offer specific help.
Create space for their emotions.
Pray with them.
Walk with them — gently, consistently, faithfully.

Because no parent should have to grieve alone during the holidays.

🏆 Earlier this week, I was once again filled with thankfulness, love, and faith. 
🏆 I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Home Health Care USA for naming me the “Latina American Caregiver of the Year!” 
🏆 Caregivers are among the unsung heroes in our society, and there are many different types of caregivers. For instance, the “Sandwich Generation” refers to individuals who are caring for both their aging parents and their children simultaneously. These caregivers often provide physical, emotional, and financial support. More than 50% of Americans in their 40s and 50s are currently caring for both their children and their senior parents—and usually without any help from extended family. 
🏆 Some caregivers dedicate their entire lives to caring for a child—or children—with disabilities into adulthood. Unfortunately, many caregiving parents or family members do not get a break or have quality time for themselves. About 50% of couples with special needs or neurodiverse children end up getting divorced. 
🏆 Having experienced both of these caregiving situations and still living within them, being named “Latina American Caregiver of the Year” means more to me than just an award. It symbolizes the millions of unpaid caretakers across the country who provide loving, effective care for family members or friends. 
🏆 I also want to extend my gratitude to all those who have followed my caregiving journey the past 17 years, including my care for my beloved late parents and my superhero, Joshua, on my social channels, Mami of Multiples, and Dr. Joscelyn Ramos Campbell. The BEST is yet to come! 🙌 
🌎 Lastly, congratulations to all my fellow winners standing on stage. Your work in your communities helps make the world a better place!
