Australia has reviewed risks associated with canine influenza virus Australia is implementing biosecurity measures for the control of canine influenza virus (CIV) in dogs exported to Australia from approved countries where CIV is present. These include the requirement for all approved countries where CIV is present to vaccinate dogs prior to export to Australia. The requirement for CIV vaccination was previously implemented following the risk assessment published in November 2013 titled: Final Policy Review: Importation of dogs and cats and their semen from approved countries, that determined that measures were required for CIV. As a result of the identified international spread of CIV since 2013 Australia has undertaken a review of the risks and is expanding application of the measure for CIV to manage the sanitary risk. Relevant trading partners affected by this change will be contacted directly by the Department of Agriculture about these requirements.
