  On June 11, 2003, CDC and FDA issued a joint order announcing an immediate embargo on the importation of all rodents from Africa due to the potential that these rodents can spread monkeypox virus infection to other animal species and to humans. The joint order also banned within the United States any sale, offering for distribution, transport, or release into the environment, of prairie dogs and six specific African rodent species implicated in the current monkeypox outbreak.
