("Groups bringing dogs into Massachusetts must register with the state, and
the animals are supposed to be quarantined for at least 48 hours and undergo
disease screenings, said Michael Cahill, director of the division of animal
health at the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources. He said
his staff of 18 is already swamped by the roughly 10,000 dogs legally
imported to Massachusetts each year. And that does not include many other
animals. 'We do everything from cats to cattle,’ Cahill said")

viruses (hence the name, from Latin parvus meaning small) and are 18–26 nm
in diameter." Wikipedia |
