What are the notifiable diseases?
The aquatic diseases listed below appeared in the 2015 OIE edition. To establish the requirements that apply today, consult the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) and the current national rules.
A notifiable animal disease (MADO) is, as defined by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), an animal disease included in a list established by the Government Veterinary Administration of each member, and the detection or suspicion of which must be brought immediately to the attention of the Veterinary Authority in accordance with national regulations, in order to monitor a possible departure epidemic and take appropriate measures to contain it.
