Jefferson County Public Health said pets can be susceptible to plague infection, which could also transfer to humans.
Although tied to historic pandemics like the Black Death, plague illnesses do still occur around the world and in the United States every year, though they are rare. In the U.S., most plague cases occur in the southwest, including in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado, the CDC says., sparking health officials in Bayannur to raise its alert level for plague illness.
Modern antibiotics have significantly lowered plagues' mortality rate. Symptoms of bubonic plague can include fever, headache, chills, weakness and swollen lymph nodes, the CDC says. The bacteria can spread to other parts of the body if untreated. Jefferson County Public Health advised avoiding wild animals, especially those that appear sick or dead. Pets should also be kept a safe distance from wild animals, and consult a veterinarian if a pet does become ill, the department says.
Plague, a disease caused by a bacterial infection, is unrelated to the new coronavirus, which causes COVID-19.
