Reportable or Notifiable Diseases and Conditions
Reportable or notifiable diseases and conditions are required by law to be reported by veterinarians. These diseases can have severe consequences to livestock or companion animals, create significant economic impacts, or pose zoonotic risk. Reporting these diseases is important to quickly identify and control disease outbreaks.
In Oregon, OAR 603-011-0212 outlines the complete list of diseases of interest to the state and details the authority of the State Veterinarian to request reports on disease of concern associated with overall disease control measures. Rules governing vaccinations and reporting of listed livestock diseases can be found at ORS 596.321. Duties of the State Department of Agriculture in protection of people and livestock can be found at ORS 596.020.
Reportable Conditions
Reportable Conditions are clinical conditions or symptoms, with a known or unknown etiology that satisfy any one (or more) of the following conditions. Reportable conditions must be immediately reported to the State Veterinarian by phone at (503) 986-4711.
- Any unidentified vesicular disease
- Any exotic disease or foreign animal disease, even if only suspected
- Any disease of unknown etiology exhibiting highly pathogenic or lethal effect
- Any exotic vector (flies and fly larvae, mites, and ticks)
- Any emerging disease: A disease, infection, or infestation in domestic or wild animals that is a threat to terrestrial animals, aquatic animals, or humans, and meets one of the following criteria:
- An unknown agent that is causing disease in a herd/flock/premise and has the potential to result in a significant animal or public health impact, and applied diagnostic tests have yielded negative or non-definitive results
- A newly identified agent that is causing disease in a herd/flock/premise and has the potential to cause significant animal or public health impact, or is occurring in multiple herds/flocks/premises
- A previously identified or known pathogenic agent that has a change in epidemiology
