Alberta's Reportable and Notifiable Diseases

Click here for more information on the Animal Health Act and Regulations.

Reportable Diseases are those which require action to control or eradicate because they are a threat to animal or human health, food safety or the economy.

Notifiable Diseases are those which simply require monitoring for trade purposes, or to understand their presence in Alberta. No actions will be taken.

Anyone who knows or ought to know that any of these diseases are or may be present in an animal MUST report that fact to the Office of the Chief Provincial Veterinarian within 24 hours by calling 1-800-524-0051.
