structive animal plagues. Since
1'868 this Division has been on
watch and guard, protecting the
health of' Canada’s animals,

ifying news about other diseases
which might be ’a menace to
Canada's livestock, Anthrax is
seldom found in Canada;
case - of dourine has occurred
since 1919; of sheep scab since
1927; and these diseases may
be considered eradicated. Gland

Mange only affected one horse
and 57 cattle in

spread. No case .
reported in 1947
foxes and sled
Northwest and Yukon Territor
