Vesicular Stomatitis (VS)


Florida Entry Requirements


Last Premises Released from Vesicular Stomatitis Quarantine

On December 21, 2006 the State of Wyoming released the quarantine on the last vesicular stomatitis (VS) positive premises in the State. Wyoming was the only state to have confirmed cases of VS in 2006. There are currently no active cases of VS in the United States.

With the last quarantine release in Wyoming, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Animal Industry no longer has any additional VS related restrictions on livestock entering Florida from Wyoming.

The USDA/Veterinary Services will continue to monitor for VS. For additional information on Vesicular Stomatitis, please refer to the following USDA web site at:
