Control of Foreign Disease Vectors and Invasive Species
(Approved by the Executive Board November 2001; amended November 2005)
 

To protect animal, human, and environmental health, the AVMA supports the use of appropriate surveillance and control measures (e.g., inspection, isolation, quarantine, decontamination, pesticide application) on international commerce and travel to prevent the entry of foreign disease vectors and invasive species into the United States.
