Disease Control

Animal diseases can threaten the health of Canadians and cause multi-million-dollar losses. The international marketability of our animals and their products and by-products is enhanced by Canada's reputation for being free from certain serious diseases. To protect public security, the CFIA conducts inspections and has monitoring and testing programs in place to prevent and control the spread of zoonotic diseases, which are diseases transmissible from animals to humans.

Protecting the animal resource base begins long before the food animals are marketed. The CFIA carries out programs related to animal health and production to guard against the entry of foreign animal diseases and to prevent the spread of certain domestic animal diseases.
