    Document: The information gathered from this testing program documents the spread of Canine Influenza virus H3N2 to two new locations in the US. In addition, data collected supports the role of parainfluenza virus as a major preventable pathogen in CIRDC and route of vaccination should be considered in vaccination protocols. Animals are argued to play an important role in nursing homes, providing health benefits, but may also be a source of infections and injuries for animals and patients. To-date little is known of the involvement of animals in nursing homes, practices in place to protect pet and resident health, or specific health benefits and risks. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and avenues in which animals are utilized in the nursing home environment, practices to safeguard health, and benefits and risks of resident-animal interactions. An anonymous 15-minute online questionnaire was developed and delivered to a convenience sample of nursing home administrators in Ohio, USA from November 2014 through March 2015.
