Vesicular stomatitis requirements
If you are importing camelids from regions that currently have premises quarantined for vesicular stomatitis in any species, you need an import permit. The definition of a region is a county with VS and any bordering counties. Call 608-224-4874 weekdays between 7:45 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Central Time to request a permit application or download the permit application form online. In addition, the accompanying certificate of veterinary inspection must include statements that:
- The certifying veterinarian has examined the animals and found them free of evidence of vesicular stomatitis.
- During the 30 days before shipping, the animals haven’t been within 10 miles of any premises where vesicular stomatitis had been diagnosed within 60 days. The 60 days are counted back from the date that the animals were on the premises within 10 miles of the disease, not from the shipping date.
- They were not exposed to any animal that has been vaccinated for vesicular stomatitis within the last 30 days, no matter what kind of vaccine it was.
