Meet Jessica Russell, Response Planning Specialist |
Jess has spent the majority of her career managing and planning responses for large disease and invasive pest incursions at the national level in Aotearoa New Zealand, and now in Canada. She is experienced in translating disease management theory into application and planning responses to primarily animal health threats, but also plant pests, foodborne outbreaks and adverse events. These include leading the eradication of Gumboro disease from poultry in New Zealand, planning and overseeing the response to New Zealand’s largest outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis, and developing the management research programme for the newly introduced granulate ambrosia beetle. Within Canada she has supported the Planning Epidemiology Unit of the Western High Path Avian Influenza Response with the CFIA, and supported the incursion planning to CWD in BC with the Province. |
Chronic Wasting Disease Website
Built by Hunters, for Hunters
CWD spreads silently — often on wheels.
The virus travels farther in coolers and trucks than it ever could on hooves.
Proper carcass handling isn’t red tape — it’s your best weapon in stopping the spread.
