Veracruz reported 63 human brucellosis cases and 117 leptospirosis cases through epidemiological week 40 of 2026, according to federal health data. Both diseases can harm cattle reproduction and milk production, and authorities warn about consuming dairy made from unpasteurised milk; the report recommends stronger farm biosecurity and regular testing.
