Translocated dogs from Nunavut and the spread of rabies.

Background: Investigations of rabid animals that cross provincial/territorial boundaries are resource intensive and complex because of their multi-jurisdictional and multi-sectoral nature.

Objective: To describe the multi-jurisdictional responses to two unrelated rabid puppies originating from Nunavut.

Methods: A descriptive summary of the investigations following the identification of a rabid puppy in Alberta (August 2013) and another in Saskatchewan (December 2014).
