Changes from previous year:1

No disease list additions or deletions for 2023.

Definitions:
Notifiable Diseases
• Notifiable diseases and conditions consist of emergency incidents, emerging disease incidents, and
regulated disease incidents. Immediate reporting by Animal Health Professionals.

Monitored Diseases
• Monitored diseases are those that are endemic in the United States. Monthly reporting by State
Animal Health Officials and Laboratories. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) uses
data gathered to monitor changes in disease occurrence over time.

Terrestrial
• Animals that live predominantly or entirely on land.

Aquatic
• Animals which live predominantly or entirely in the water.

Animal Health Professional

• An Animal Health Professional is an individual, corporate entity, or animal health organization with
formal training in the diagnosis or recognition of animal diseases and/or pests of livestock.
Examples of animal health professionals include, but are not limited to, veterinary medical
professionals, diagnostic laboratorians, biomedical researchers, public health officials, animal
health officials, trained technicians, zoo personnel, and wildlife personnel with such training.
