7 Pa. Code § 3a.7 - Epidemiological investigation and follow-up
(a)
Refusal to allow
testing. If an owner or consignee refuses to allow the Department to
conduct testing of camelids or cervids, those animals shall be held in
quarantine at the expense of the owner until released by the
Department.
(b)
Epidemiological examination. If camelids or cervids have been
infected with a dangerous transmissible disease, or have been exposed to such a
disease, the epidemiological investigation shall determine the herd of origin
of each quarantined animal and the disposition of animals removed from the
quarantined premises within either the 3 years immediately preceding the date
that the quarantine was imposed or from the last occasion when the entire herd
was test-negative for the particular disease involved, whichever period is
shorter.
(c)
Follow-up. Camelids and cervids that have been released from a
bovine tuberculosis-related quarantine as a result of meeting the conditions of
§
3a.6(a)(2)
(relating to minimum requirements for release of certain quarantines) shall be
tested annually for tuberculosis, according to USDA recommended protocol, for
each of the 5 years immediately following the release of the
quarantine.
