Scope
The data collected by CIPARS are:[2]
- Antibiotic resistance rates: human infections with Salmonella and Campylobacter are notifiable in Canada, so CIPARS is able to passively gather data on resistance rates through existing national programs. CIPARS uses a combination of active and passive surveillance in animals.
- Antibiotic use and sales data: from 2017, Canadian manufacturers, importers and compounders have been required to report annual sales of medically important antimicrobials intended for use in animals. The Public Health Agency of Canada and Health Canada designed and developed the online reporting tool, the Veterinary Antimicrobial Sales Reporting (VASR) system to facilitate the collection of this data. It collects data on volumes of antimicrobials and quantity sold or compounded by animal species and by province/territory. Information on farm antimicrobial use is collected through questionnaires.
