Santa Fe Animals Test Positive For Plague

Officials Hunt For Other Affected Animals

Two animals that were found in Santa Fe County have tested positive  
for plague

City officials said they have not found any animals within the city  
limits that have tested positive, but they are on the lookout.

"Santa Fe County has historically been one of the highest areas for  
plague," said Fabian Chavez, head of City of Santa Fe Parks and  
Recreation.

Chavez said Parks and Recreation workers are one of the first lines of  
defense against plague. Workers report any dead animals that have not  
been hit by cars or some kind of trauma.


Health officials are warning people to medicate their pets against  
fleas and keep them on a leash because they can pick up the disease  
from dead rodents and transfer it to humans.
