Reportable Diseases, Immediately Notifiable
|
Reportable diseasesThese diseases are outlined in the Health of Animals Act and Regulations (http://laws.justice.gc.ca./en/H-3.3/fulltoc.html) and are usually of significant importance to human or animal health or to the Canadian economy. Animal owners, veterinarians and laboratories are required to immediately report the presence of an animal that is contaminated or suspected of being contaminated with one of these diseases to a CFIA district veterinarian. Control or eradication measures will be applied immediately. Immediately notifiable diseases
|
Annually notifiable diseases are diseases for which Canada must submit an annual report to the Office International des Épizooties (OIE) indicating their presence within Canada. In general, they are diseases that are present in Canada, but are not classified as reportable or immediately notifiable.
All veterinary laboratories are required to comment on Canada's report to the OIE, which is prepared each February by the CFIAs Animal Disease Surveillance Unit.
For more information, you can visit the CFIA Web site at www.inspection.gc.ca, or contact the nearest CFIA district veterinarian using the listing in the blue pages of your local telephone directory.
The importation and use of animal and zoonotic pathogens is regulated by the Health of Animals Act and Regulations. Facilities working with animal or zoonotic pathogens must comply with the "Containment Standards for Veterinary Facilities." This can be found at: /english/sci/bio/bioe.shtml.
