Animals imported to the US as pets or breeding stock present several threats to indigenous animal populations, as well as public health. For example :

  • Gambia rats can carry monkeypox, which affects prairie dogs, wild or in zoos.
  • African tortoises can carry diseases affecting US livestock.
  • Newcastle disease from South American parrots imperils US bird populations.
  • Civets (Africa and Asia) are suspected of carrying the SARS virus.

Importing animals can also deplete the breeding stock in the native countries. This occurred with species of Egyptian and Indonesian turtles.
