The purpose of these rules and regulations is to create a list of reportable animal diseases and a codified procedure for reporting of these diseases. This list contains all diseases that are federally reportable as well as diseases that are of concern to the Department. This list includes diseases that are notifiable to the OIE World Organization for Animal Health, as well as diseases that appear on the federal select agent list for bioterrorism. The report of any of the diseases on this list does not obligate the Department of Environmental Management to take any specific action.
