British Columbia Wildlife Health Program

The British Columbia Wildlife Health Program investigates issues in wildlife only and will perform investigations on amphibians/reptiles (in partnership with ministry of environment), birds, bats, bison, cervids, insects, mink (in partnership with ministry of environment), rabbits, sheep and goats, and swine. Investigation topics under their mandate include animal welfare, contaminants/hazards, emerging/endemic diseases, food safety, foreign animal diseases, governance, invasive species, record of discussion, regulated diseases, vector/vector-borne and zoonotic diseases. Investigations are launched when an issue is identified by a member of the public, veterinarian, laboratory or regional agency.
