Download Biosecurity Risks on Importation of Non-domestic Felidae

The document summarises the relevant biosecurity risks and risk management measures associated with zoo felids by utilising the information in a number of existing published documents.
Six diseases/pathogens are identified as risks associated with importing non-domestic Felidae. For these diseases/pathogens, risk management options are justifiable. We recommend using the risk management measures proposed in the import risk analysis on zoo Carnivora and the import risk analysis on cats, dogs and canine semen to mitigate these risks.
