DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Designation of Dangerous Transmissible Diseases

[26 Pa.B. 1566]

   Section 2 of the act of April 17, 1929 (P. L. 533, § 2) (3 P. S. § 342), as amended, authorizes the Department of Agriculture (Department) to designate those diseases which are of a dangerous transmissible nature. Under this authority, the Department hereby proclaims the following diseases of poultry to be of a dangerous transmissible nature:

   1.  Ornithosis caused by Chylamdia psittaci;

   2.  Avian encephalomyelitis caused by encephalomyelitis virus; and

   3.  Paramyxovirus disease, other than Newcastle disease, caused by Paramyxovirus.

   This proclamation will allow the Department to require the reporting of these diseases and to track the incidents of these diseases in the Commonwealth's poultry population. This information is required by certain foreign nations as a prerequisite to the importation of poultry and poultry products. The effect of this proclamation, therefore, will be to facilitate the flow of Pennsylvania-produced poultry and poultry products in international commerce.

   This notice shall be effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

CHARLES C. BROSIUS,   
Secretary
