Who provides the first line of defense against the introduction of FADs?

Explanation:
The frontline detection point is the private veterinarian in daily practice. They are the ones who see animals first, recognize unusual or unexpected disease patterns, and immediately report suspicions to state animal health authorities or APHIS. This rapid notification starts the official investigation, surveillance, and diagnostic testing that determine whether a foreign animal disease is present. Diagnostic laboratories and APHIS are essential partners in confirming and coordinating the response, but they rely on that initial alert from the practicing veterinarian to begin the process.
