This disease strategy manual is an integral part of the Australian Aquatic Veterinary Emergency Plan (AQUAVETPLAN).
The manual sets out the disease control principles for use in response to a suspected or confirmed incursion of infectious salmon anaemia in Australia.
Important regulatory information for infectious salmon anaemia is contained in the OIE Aquatic Animal Health Code (OIE 2007a), which is updated annually and is available on the internet at the OIE website:
