agents in order to protect the public
health. Currently, with the exception of
rodent inspections and the cruise ship
sanitation program, inspections are
performed only on those vessels and
aircraft which report illness prior to
arrival or when illness is discovered
upon arrival. Other inspection agencies
assist quarantine officers in public
health screening of persons, pets, and
other importations of public health
importance and make referrals to PHS
