Subject: Re: [ferrethealth] RE: ADV testing in Canada
wouldn't this be the catch all-- we do have ADV in the US - as does
Canada -- it is contagious and it has ( in mink) been an epizootic event.
(b) the country of origin or part of it is designated as free from any
reportable disease or any other serious epizootic disease to which the
species that produced the blood or serum is susceptible and that can be
transmitted by the blood or serum, and the person who imports the blood or
serum produces a certificate signed by an official of the government of the
country of origin that shows that the country of origin or part of it is
the designated country or part.
