R58-17-20. Classification of Pathogens  


Latest version.
  • TABLE


    I. Emergency prohibited pathogens are pathogens that cause high

    morbidity and high mortality, are exotic to Utah, and require

    immediate action. These pathogens generally cannot be treated

    and shall be controlled through avoidance, eradication, and

    disinfection.

    II. Prohibited pathogens are pathogens that can cause high

    morbidity or high mortality, may be endemic to Utah, and

    require action in a reasonable time. Prohibited pathogens are

    generally very difficult or impossible to treat and can only

    be controlled through avoidance, eradication, and

    disinfection, etc.


    Myxobolus Prohibited Salmonids Focus on more

    cerebralis susceptible

    (Whirling Disease) species as per

                                                   Bluebook

    Kidney Disease, frequently

    BKD) reported clinical

                                                   disease, such as

                                                   Pacific salmon,

                                                   brook trout, lake

    Tetracapsuloides Prohibited Salmonids Inspect fish only

    bryosalmonae from reported

    (proliferative endemic areas

    kidney disease,

    PKD)


    III. Reportable pathogens are pathogens that are generally

    prevented using good management practices. Reportable pathogens

    are not prohibited in Utah, but may be prohibited in some other

    states or countries (see R58-17-20). Inspections are not

    required for reportable pathogens, but all positive findings

    must be reported to the Board.
