CDC’s Role in the Importation and Movement of Animals
“HHS/CDC oversees regulations to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States. As part of these responsibilities, HHS/CDC currently regulates the importation of certain animals with known linkages to zoonotic diseases and also regulates the importation of etiologic agents, hosts, and vectors known to cause or contribute to the spread of zoonotic diseases. Zoonotic diseases, or zoonoses, are diseases that are transmissible from animals to people. In addition to well known zoonotic diseases such as rabies, many other known and emerging diseases have been increasingly linked to animal sources.”
(Statement of Dr. Nina Marano before the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife and Oceans.)

CDC’s Role in Monitoring and Preventing Antimicrobial Resistance
“Antimicrobial resistance will always be with us, it is not a new issue; but we need to continue to find manageable solutions. Resistant microorganisms have been reported for over 60 years; however, it is the increasing magnitude of the problem and the fact that so many different types of microorganisms are becoming resistant to antimicrobials, a general term for drugs, chemicals, or other substances that either kill or slow the growth of microbes, that is of major concern to us.”
(Statement of Dr. Fred Tenover before the Senate HELP Committee.)
