Proyecto del Acuerdo mediante el cual se dan a conocer en los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, las enfermedades y plagas exóticas y endémicas de notificación obligatoria de los animales terrestres y acuáticos (Draft Decision listing the exotic and endemic terrestrial and aquatic animal diseases and pests notifiable in the United Mexican States)
Description
The notified draft Decision establishes groups and characteristics for the terrestrial and aquatic animal diseases and pests (including those affecting wild animals) that are notifiable to the country's health authorities. These diseases and pests fall into three groups: Group 1 covers diseases and pests not present in national territory or which have been eradicated from the country, and which, given their rapid dissemination and impact, and risk to public health, must be notified immediately to the country's official animal and aquatic health authorities; Group 2 comprises communicable endemic diseases and pests found in national territory, which, given their significant impact on livestock production, international trade and public health, and their strategic importance for animal and aquatic health activities in the country, must be notified immediately to the country's official animal health authorities; Group 3 covers diseases and pests found in national territory that are considered endemic, which, given their lower level of risk from an epidemiological, economic, public health, and domestic and international trade viewpoint, must be notified on a monthly basis to the country's official animal and aquatic health authorities.
