EMISSÃO DE CERTIFICADOS VETERINÁRIOS INTERNACIONAIS(CVls) DE ANIMAIS DE COMPANHIA NO BRASIL: PAÍSES DE DESTINO E EXIGÊNCIAS SANITÁRIAS

Abstract

Nowadays, the most common and fastest way to travel with a pet to other states or countries is by air, therefore, for this trip to happen it is required compliance of several specific health requirements, which are adopted by each destination. Data from International Veterinary Certificates (IVC) were analyzed, with Brazilian export numbers and their landing locations in the last years of 2015 to 2016, as well as those issued by Paraíba in the year 2017. For animals coming from other countries and wishing to enter in Brazil, there are also rules, which were thoroughly described in this work. Another important point is the global concern about preventing the spread of infectious diseases, whether of viral, bacterial, fungal, or even ectoparasites, which spread rapidly among animals from different places that daily transit around the world. However, especially in cases of zoonoses, such as rabies that affects public health worldwide and is responsible for numerous deaths, it must be prevented with rabies vaccination and if necessary the serological examination to confirm the levels of antibody in the body and, therefore, its effectiveness.
