The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has alerted Canadian consumers regarding recent outbreaks of pseudorabies in commercial swine across the United States. Pseudorabies, scientifically referred to as Aujesky’s disease, poses no health risk to humans; however, it can affect a variety of animal species, including cattle, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, mink, foxes, raccoons, and rats. Infected animals may exhibit severe symptoms resembling rabies, which can lead to fatal outcomes. The CFIA emphasizes the importance of monitoring animal health and ensuring biosecurity measures are in place to prevent the spread of the disease.
