Dear Animal and Plant Health Agency,

Please take this communication as a request to see the APHA's risk assessment in respect of your Brucella canis decision making process in respect of diagnosis, treatment, and management of the dog suspected of /diagnosed as being sero-positive for Brucella canis. This should include all scientific peer reviewed and grey literature primary and secondary evidence that was used to support this decision making.

It is so important to know that the APHA are taking an evidence-based approach to safe guarding the nation, that is proportionate to the relative risks posed by Brucella canis. Therefore, please could I also have the risk assessments in place for all other infectious zoonotic diseases that dogs and cats and other companion animals are known to be at risk of being infected by in the UK. It would be useful in terms of deepening my understanding of the reasoned approach taken in this regard, and I will also signpost other veterinary and paraveterinary professionals and other individuals involved in the rescue and rehoming of overseas dogs imported into the UK to reduce your subsequent workload in responding to similar requests.

Yours faithfully,

Ms Buckley
