Pathogen Safety Data Sheet
The Pathogen Safety Data Sheets (PSDS) were prepared by the Office of Biohazard Containment and Safety as a quick reference to provide information intended to promote the safe use and containment of animal pathogens in importing laboratories and animal facilities. They are similar to the Material Safety Data Sheets for human pathogens prepared by the Public Health Agency.

Material Safety Data Sheets
The Public Health Agency of Canada's Material Safety Data Sheets are written from the perspective of protecting human health only. Depending on the nature and purpose of research, additional information and precautions may be necessary for working with animal and zoonotic pathogens.
Animal Disease Fact Sheets
Fact sheets for reportable diseases, immediately notifiable and annually notifiable diseases were prepared by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. They focus on the characteristics of disease in animals.
