When reporting a positive EIA test, which information is not needed?

In the context of reporting a positive Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) test, the information required primarily focuses on the ability to trace and manage the affected animal, as well as ensuring proper follow-up actions are taken within the regulations. The owner's name and address, accession number, and name and description of the animal are essential pieces of information that assist in accurately documenting the case, facilitating communication with authorities, and identifying which specific animal is affected.

While having a veterinarian's contact number can be beneficial for communication, it is not explicitly required for the reporting process in the same manner as the other details listed. The primary goal of reporting these cases is to ensure that public health and veterinary protocols are followed, which centers around identifying the animal and its owner rather than necessitating direct communication with a specific veterinarian. Thus, the veterinarian's contact number is not critical for the immediate reporting of EIA test results.
