Declaration of Country Freedom from Three Aquatic Animal Pathogens: Epizootic Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus, Salmonid Alphavirus, and Gyrodactylus salaris |
| Summary |
As the US competent authority for Animal Health, USDA APHIS has officially declared country freedom from three WOAH-listed aquatic animal pathogens.
Effective 12 November 2024, the entire United States is declared free from epizootic hematopoietic necrosis virus (EHNV), salmonid alphavirus (SAV), and Gyrodactylus solaris. These country-level freedom declarations are made in alignment with the WOAH criteria as specified in Chapter 1.4. Aquatic Animal Disease Surveillance of the WOAH Aquatic Code, and affirm APHIS' commitment to ensuring and maintaining healthy aquatic animal populations for domestic use and international trade purposes.
These country freedom declarations will be used to facilitate the continued export of healthy aquatic animal species from the United States. If the species being exported is considered susceptible to EHNV, SAV, or Gyrodactylus solaris, APHIS will certify the aquatic animals originate from a country declared free from these pathogens, where applicable.
