Reportable Diseases in the United States – 2018 Annual Report (Michael Logan – Scenario 2)
The following tables show the United States' status for animal diseases that are reported to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) if they are confirmed to be present in specific livestock, poultry, and aquaculture species. This information is reported to OIE every six months and is also presented on the international OIE website.
This is a summary of the report submitted to the OIE for the year indicated, and not meant to reflect current disease status. Please see the Animal Disease home page for more current information.

Disease |
Status |
Date of Last Occurrence / Notes |
|
Anthrax |
Present |
Sporadic / limited distribution |
|
Aujeszky’s disease |
Present |
Sporadic / limited distribution in feral and/or non-commercial production swine. Non-commercial swine: swine managed under biosecurity conditions that allow for potential exposure to feral swine that may be infected with swine diseases, such as pseudorabies. National eradication program. No commercial production swine herd detections in 2018 |
|
Bluetongue |
Present |
Sporadic |
|
Brucellosis (Brucella abortus) |
Present |
Sporadic / limited distribution. Disease is limited to free-ranging bison (Bison bison) and wapiti (Cervus canadensis) in the Greater Yellowstone National Park area/national eradication program |
|
Brucellosis (Brucella melitensis) |
Free |
1999 |
|
Brucellosis (Brucella suis) |
Present |
Sporadic / limited distribution in feral and/or non-commercial production swine. Non-commercial swine: swine managed under biosecurity conditions that allow for potential exposure to feral swine that may be infected with swine diseases, such as brucellosis. B. suis, biovar 4 is endemic in wild caribou (Rangifer tarandus) herds in Alaska, and biovar 1 is endemic in feral swine in several States. National eradication program. No commercial production swine herd detections in 2018. |

Avian Diseases
|
Disease |
Status |
Date of Last Occurrence / Notes |
|
Avian chlamydiosis |
Present |
Identified sporadically in wild birds, pet birds, and backyard birds only. No commercial production flock detections in 2018. |
|
Avian infectious bronchitis |
Present |
|
|
Avian infectious laryngotracheitis |
Present |
Sporadically detected in poultry. Detections are primarily vaccine related. |
|
Avian mycoplasmosis (M. gallisepticum) |
Present |
Sporadic occurrence. All commercial poultry breeding flocks are under a surveillance program to confirm infection-free status. Commercial table-egg laying hens may be vaccinated. The “finch strain” of MG occurs in wild passerine birds, primarily house finches (Carpodacus mexicanus), in which it causes conjunctivitis. This strain has been shown experimentally to be nonpathogenic in chickens. |
|
Avian mycoplasmosis (M. synoviae) |
Present |
Sporadic occurrence. All commercial poultry breeding flocks are under a surveillance program to confirm infection-free status. |
|
Duck viral hepatitis |
Free |
1998 |
|
Fowl typhoid (Salmonella gallinarum) |
Free |
1981 |
|
Highly pathogenic avian influenza |
Present |
Two events reported to the OIE in 2017. 1) H7N9 in commercial chicken broiler-breeder flock, closed 8/2017. 2) Identification of H5N2 in a wild mallard duck, closed 3/2017. |
|
Low pathogenic avian influenza (poultry) Notifiable H5 and H7 |
Present |
Identified sporadically in backyard poultry and in live-bird-markets that serve local ethnic communities. Low pathogenicity H5 was detected in a live-bird market and low pathogenicity H5N2 was detected in backyard poultry. No commercial production flock infection was detected from 7/2017-12/2017 |
|
Infectious bursal disease (Gumboro disease) |
Present |
Sporadic |
|
Newcastle disease (Neurotropic and viscerotropic strains) |
Present (wild) |

|
Pullorum disease (Salmonella pullorum) |
Present |
Identified sporadically in backyard poultry. No commercial production flock detections since 1991, considered absent in them. |
|
Turkey rhinotracheitis |
Present |
Type C is detected in poultry sporadically and with limited distribution. |
