Hundreds of thousands of rabies oral vaccination baits will be dropped over several north Alabama counties to combat a significant public health threat in your backyard.
市民の身近な重大な公衆衛生上の脅威と戦うため、数十万の狂犬病経口ワクチンベイト（野生動物用の経口狂犬病ワクチンを含んだ餌）が、北部アラバマの複数の郡で散布される。
The USDA will fly over Jefferson, Shelby, Tuscaloosa, and Morgan counties through 6 Oct [2020] on a mission to drop the vaccination baits in areas where raccoons and coyotes can eat them. The goal is to stop the spread of the deadly viral disease among wild animals and protect pets and people.
合衆国農務省は、Jefferson、Shelby、Tuscaloosa、そしてMorgan郡に、［2020年］10月6日、アライグマ及びコヨーテを対象としてワクチンベイトを散布する計画を遂行する。目的は、この致死的なウイルス疾患が野生動物に蔓延することを阻止し、ペット及び人を守ることにある。
Authorities say it is best to leave the bait where you find it unless it is on your lawn or driveway, where it is not likely to attract araccoon, fox, or coyote. While wearing a glove, you can move the bait to a wooded area where a wild animal will be more likely to find it and get the protection against rabies.
専門家は、アライグマ、キツネ、あるいはコヨーテなどが来そうにない、個人の庭または私道以外でこのベイトを発見した場合には、触らずそのままにしておくことが最善であると述べた。手袋をはめれば、ベイトを、野生動物がそれをより見つけやすく、狂犬病を予防することが出来そうな森林地帯に動かしてもよい。
Rabies infects the brain and spinal cord of mammals and is spread from exposure to saliva or nervous tissue from an infected animal, usually through a bite.
狂犬病は、哺乳動物の脳神経に感染し、通常咬傷を通じ、罹患動物の唾液または神経組織に暴露することにより伝播する。
The Alabama Department of Public Health tracks rabies cases. So far in 2020, 40 cases have been confirmed across Alabama.Jefferson County has the most with 5 [cases]. Those 5 cases involve 3 raccoons and 2 bats. Raccoons make up the majority of rabies cases in Alabama each year.
[Byline: Stephen Gallien]
アラバマ州公衆衛生局は、狂犬病症例の動向を追跡している。アラバマ州では、2020年に入りこれまで40症例が確定されている。Jefferson郡が最も多く、5症例である。これらの5症例の内、3症例がアライグマおよび2症例がコウモリである。アライグマは、毎年狂犬病症例の大多数を占める。

The coyote that was killed after attacking 3 people in Rockville, Maryland, on Thursday [1 Oct 2020] tested positive for rabies, town officials announced Friday [2 Oct 2020].
メリーランド州Rockvilleで、3人を攻撃して殺処分されたコヨーテは、木曜日[2020年10月1日]に狂犬病陽性の結果が出たと、金曜日[2020年10月2日]に町当局者が発表した。
The coyote attacked a 59-year-old woman and her dog at about 10 a.m. Thursday [2 Oct 2020] around Windsor Court, a 12-year-old boy on the Upper Watts Branch Trail at Nelson Street and College Parkway, and a 39-year-old woman around Redland and Gaither roads, the town said in a release. The 3 people were treated and released for injuries; the dog is being quarantined.
そのコヨーテは、木曜日[2020年10月1日]午前10時頃、59歳の女性と飼い犬をWindsor Court付近で襲い、その後Nelson Street及びCollege Parkwayに接続するハイキングコースであるUpper Watts Branch Trailで12歳男児を、Redland及びGaither通り付近で39歳女性を襲ったと、発表の中で町は明らかにした。3人は、傷の治療を受け退院し、攻撃を受けた犬は検疫を受けている。
The Rockville police said they found the coyote along West Gude Drive at about 4:45 p.m., and the coyote charged at an officer. The officer shot the coyote, who ran into a wooded area near Aster Boulevard and Carnation Drive. They found the coyote with a thermal imaging camera and put it down.
Rockville警察は、午後4時45分頃に当該コヨーテをWest Gude通り沿いで発見し、警察官が捕獲したと発表した。警察官は、Aster Bouleverdとカーネーション通り付近の森に逃げ込もうとしたところを、発砲した。警察はサーマルカメラでコヨーテを発見し、殺処分した。
Rockville asked anyone who may have had contact with the coyote to call the Montgomery County Health Department to talk about what should be done next. Rabies is fatal to people if it is left untreated.
[Byline: Rick Massimo]
Rockvileは、そのコヨーテに接触した可能性のある全てのヒトに、Montgomery郡健康局に連絡し、次に何をすべきか相談するように求めている。狂犬病は、治療しない限り、ヒトでも致死的である。

以下、モデレータの意見は狂犬病及び、その予防治療に関する一般的な情報であり翻訳しない。
[Those who have been exposed are reminded to wash the wound with soap and water and seek medical attention. Post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is needed; without it, rabies is almost always a deadly disease.
We need to build a barrier between this disease and ourselves. One way of building it is to vaccine our animals. Most counties have some type of rabies ordinance requiring pets to be vaccinated. The wise owner will make sure pets and livestock are vaccinated.
Almost any mammal is susceptible to the rabies virus. Don't take chances with your life. If they are pets, however large or small,vaccinate them. Most counties/states have a rabies prevention law. Vaccinating your pet forms a barrier between you and the disease as well as protecting your pet.
Once exposed, unvaccinated animals, companion animals, or our livestock will be euthanized. Exposed individuals are advised to take post-exposure prophylaxis. If you come into contact with wildlife, remember they can become infected with rabies. Be cautious of them. Animals normally afraid of you may appear more likely to come to you. Sometimes the animal may beaggressive, but sometimes the dumb form of rabies may mean the animal seems more friendly or outgoing than usual.
People cannot transmit rabies to other people unless they are sick with rabies. PEP will protect you from developing rabies, and,therefore, you cannot expose other people to rabies. You can continue to participate in your normal activities
