Sec. 93.324  Detention for quarantine.

    Horses intended for importation from Mexico shall be quarantined 
until they qualify for release from such quarantine, either at an APHIS 
facility designated in Sec. 93.303 (a) or at a facility in Mexico. In 
order to qualify for such release, all horses while so detained shall 
test negative to an official test for dourine, glanders, equine 
piroplasmosis, equine infectious anemia,\19\ and such other tests that 
may be required by the Administrator to determine their freedom from 
other communicable diseases. Such horses shall also be subjected to such 
other inspections and disinfections deemed necessary by the 
Administrator, and they shall be released from quarantine only if found 
to be free from any communicable disease upon inspection.

    \19\ In view of the fact that official test for dourine and glanders 
are run exclusively at the National Veterinary Services Laboratory, 
Ames, Iowa, protocols for these tests have not been published and are 
therefore not available; copies of ``Protocol for the Complement-
Fixation Test for Equine Piroplasmosis'' and ``Protocol for the Immuno-
Diffusion (Coggins) Test for Equine Infectious Anemia'' may be obtained 
from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Veterinary 
Services, National Center for Import-Export, 4700 River Road Unit 38, 
Riverdale, Maryland 20737-1231.
