Response Programme for Exotic Diseases of Animals
Exotic Disease Response Standard
Under the Biosecurity Act 1993, the chief technical officer (in this case, the Chief Veterinary Officer) is responsible for the overall management, co-ordination and leadership during an initial investigation and a response to an incursion of an exotic animal disease.
This series of standards sets out the Chief Veterinary Officer's requirements in relation to investigation, control and eradication of exotic organisms of animals, the presence of which is suspected in New Zealand. The Act provides powers in Parts IV (Surveillance and Prevention) and VI (Administrative Provisions) which can be used in such circumstances.
