Plague in New Mexico increases flea control efforts
Seven plague cases in New Mexico this year prompted expanded measures after a 64 year old Cuba woman and a 4 year old girl contracted bubonic plague in the Albuquerque area. Health officials distributed about 100 insecticide bait boxes and emphasized flea transmission from rodents as the organism remains endemic in the state. Charlene Brown, a 3 year old Navajo girl from Rehoboth, died this year, with authorities noting cases remain isolated but potentially rising in the current peak cycle.
