Health officials are warning pet owners after a cat tested positive for rabies in Gadsden county.
保健当局は，Gasden郡のネコでの狂犬病陽性事例発生後，ペットの飼育者に警告を発している．
The Florida department of health says It's just one of dozens of confirmed reports of rabies in Florida in 2019 which is why they are trying to spread the word to vaccinate your pets.
フロリダ健康局は，この症例は，2019年にフロリダで報告された多数の狂犬病確定症例の1例に過ぎず，このことから，「あなたのペットにワクチンを」，という言葉を広く知らしめようとしていると述べた．
It started with a Quincy resident having to put down her cat after learning it had rabies and couldn't be cured.
この事例は，Quincy市民が，彼女のネコが狂犬病に罹患し回復しないことを知り，安楽死したことから始まった．
And other pet owners are taking the news seriously. "And I hope it does everyone the same way. It's an inexpensive piece of good mind, you know, to make you feel better about your animals," said AG. [She] has what she calls "Noah's ark" on her Quincy farm full of everything except llamas and sheep.
そして，ペットの飼育者たちはこのニュースを深刻に受け止めた．AGは「私は，すべての方が同じように深刻に感じてくれることを期待します．それは，あなたのペットに関しての心配ごとを減らすためであれば，高価ではありません．」と述べた．AGは，彼女が“ノアの箱舟”と呼ぶ，ラマとヒツジ以外はすべてがいるQuincyの牧場の所有者である．
She says none of her animals have ever contracted the virus because she keeps her furry friends up to date on their vaccinations. "Animals depend on us to take care of them. You as an owner need to be responsible for your animal and don't put them in jeopardy. Don't put your family in jeopardy, your neighbors in jeopardy," said [AG].
彼女は，所有している動物達すべてに，定期的に予防注射を接種しているためそのウイルスにかかったことはないと述べている．「動物は，私達の世話に依存しています．あなたは，所有者として，動物達が危機的な状況にならないようにする責任があります．あなたの家族や隣人も危険にさらしてはいけません．」
And every time Lily gets vaccinated, she leaves the vet with this rabies tag. So other pet owners know she's up to date on her shots. "It's true every year if you do nothing else, rabies vaccinate your animals because they can transmit the rabies virus to the owners as well," said Dr Larry Helm. [Some state/counties/parishes, allow for a3-year vaccine, so you are only updating rabies vaccines every 3 years. However, other vaccines, such as canine distemper may need to be administered yearly.- Mod.TG]
Lily?がワクチンを接種される度に，彼女はこの狂犬病のタグを付けて動物病院から出てくる．そのため，他のペット所有者は，彼女がワクチンをきちんと更新していることが分かる．「もし，毎年あなたが何もしていないのなら，所有者にも同様に狂犬病ウイルスを伝播することがあるのですから，あなたの動物に狂犬病予防接種をしてください」Dr. Larry Helmは述べた．【州／郡／行政区によっては，3年ごとの予防接種が許可されている．その場合，3年ごとの狂犬病ワクチン接種で良い．しかし，ジステンパーなどのワクチンは毎年接種が必要とされるだろう．Mod.TG】
Dr Helm with the Quincy animal hospital says if your animal is exposed bring them to the vet immediately. But once they're showing [signs] it's likely too late.
Quincy動物病院の，Dr Helmは，もしあなたの動物が暴露した場合は，早急に動物病院を受診するよう述べた．狂犬病を疑う症状が見られれば，おそらく手遅れである．
"The way you stop rabies is to prevent it from happening," said Helm. The Florida Department of health has issued a rabies alert for Gadsden county for the next 60 days. They warn all domestic animals are at risk if they are not vaccinated for rabies. Wild animals that commonly pass the virus: raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes.
[Byline: Valerie Mills]
「狂犬病を避けるためには，事故を予防することである．」とHelmは述べた．フロリダ州健康局はGadsden郡に，今後60日間の狂犬病警報を発表した．狂犬病ワクチンを受けていない動物は，リスクを持つと警告している．アライグマ，コウモリ，スカンク及びキツネといった野生動物は，一般的にウイルスを感染させると知られている．

[2] Connecticut (New London county): bobcat, horse, human exposure
コネチカット州（New London郡）：ボブキャット，ウマ，ヒト暴露
Date: Fri 19 Apr 2019 7:55 AM EDT
Source: Star Tribune, Associated Press (AP) report [edited] <http://www.startribune.com/bobcat-that-attacked-golfer-horse-had-rabies/508799862/>
A bobcat that attacked a golfer in Connecticut shortly after scratching a horse has tested positive for rabies.
コネチカットでウマを引っ掻いた直後にゴルファーに攻撃をしたボブキャットが，狂犬病陽性と診断された．
The bobcat was shot and killed by state environmental police shortly after it attacked a man [Thu 18 Apr 2019] on the Mohegan Sun Golf Course in Sprague [New London county], Connecticut.
ボブキャットは，コネチカット州SpragueのMohegan Sun Golf Courseでヒトを襲った直後（2019年4月18日木），州環境警察官（state environmental police）に射殺された．
The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said in a statement the wildcat was taken for testing at the UConn Medical Lab, which confirmed it has rabies.
州エネルギー及び環境保護局（The state Department of Energy and Environmental）は，声明の中で，そのヤマネコはコネチカット州立大学医学研究所に検査のために搬送され，狂犬病が確定診断されたと述べた．
The golfer and the horse's owner have been notified. [The owner of the horse is hopefully having the horse treated as well as putting the horse under close observation for rabies. Cats claws can harbor disease and can transmit disease. We hope the horse is not affected by this awful disease and is recovering from his wounds. This is an excellent example of why a rabies vaccination against this disease is important in horses. - Mod.TG]
当該ゴルファーとウマの所有者にはヤマネコの診断結果が通知された．「そのウマの所有者は，ウマを狂犬病のために厳密に監視下におくのと同時に暴露後予防を行う事を希望した．ネコの爪は病原体をとどめ，病気を伝播する可能性がある．我々は，そのウマがこの恐ろしい病気にならずに，怪我が治癒することを願っている．これは，ウマにとっての狂犬病ワクチン接種の重要性を示す良い例である．
The golfer, a man in his 60s whose name was not made public, was treated at a hospital for scratches. [Hopefully he received more than just treatment for scratches or bites. He should have received post exposure prophylaxis against the rabies virus. - Mod.TG]
氏名未公表の60代男性のゴルファーは，搔傷を病院で治療された．【彼が掻傷または咬傷の治療だけではなく，暴露後予防も受けていることを望む Mod.TG】
Bobcats are common in Connecticut, but attacks on humans are unusual. The last report of a bobcat attack on a human in the state was in Bozrah in August 2014.
ボブキャットは，コネチカットでは普通に見られるが，ヒトを襲うことは稀である．同州で，人がボブキャットに襲われた最後の記録は，2014年8月に，Bozrahで起こった．--
