Lake Apopka wildlife dying from bacterial infection
The Apopka lake in central Florida is ground zero for an aeromonas bacteria outbreak that dissolves tissue in alligators turtles fish and birds. A major fish kill and oxygen depletion accompany the mystery plague tied to farm muck and lake drawdown. Authorities report 48 human cases linked to the disease amid pervasive wildlife deaths. Missouri reports first southern corn leaf blight in Lincoln County but officials say no widespread outbreak is evident.
