When a negative test for anaplasmosis is required for the import of US ruminants into Canada, the cELISA test, using the VMRD, Inc. Anaplasma Antibody Kit, carried out in a US federal laboratory or a USDA-approved laboratory is accepted as an approved test. Confirmatory testing in Canada is done using the cELISA only. Additional information on anaplasmosis testing.
Note: CFIA does not recognize the gamma interferon test as valid replacement of the comparative cervical test. Until further notice, if an animal responds to a CFT in a group of cattle for export to Canada, then that responder may only be tested with a CCT, and must be cleared by CCT, before the other animals are eligible for export to Canada.
