Disease Agent Information
The Pathogen Safety
Data Sheets (PSDS) were prepared by the Biohazard Containment and Safety Unit
as a quick reference to provide information intended to promote the safe use
and containment of animal pathogens in importing laboratories and animal
facilities. They are similar to the Material Safety Data Sheets for human
pathogens prepared by the Public Health Agency.

Material Safety Data Sheets
The Public Health
Agency of Canada's Material Safety Data Sheets are written from the
perspective of protecting human health only. Depending on the nature and
purpose of research, additional information and precautions may be necessary
for working with animal and zoonotic pathogens.
Animal Disease Fact Sheets
Fact sheets for
reportable diseases, immediately notifiable and annually notifiable diseases
were prepared by the Animal Health and Production Division. They focus on the
characteristics of disease in animals.
