Epidemic disease

The epidemic is causing confusion and anxiety among New Yorkers.

More than 20 cat bears died in New York's Central Park when the plague of animals ravaged disease, authorities said.

According to the New York Post, of the 26 cat bears found in the park since June 24, the two children were tested positive for the fever virus in dogs. This virus does not affect humans but can be transmitted to unvaccinated dogs.

The remaining 24 cat bears are believed to have similar infections because they die in the same area and around the same time.

The most recent bear body was found between East 106th and East Drive streets on July 21 morning.

Park staff also witnessed many live bears with symptoms of fever . "They go around, wandering, twitching," said Dr. Sally Slavinski, assistant director at the local health department. "Some pandas have runny nose."

While officials insist that people cannot get the disease, dog owners in Central Park are very anxious to hear the disease.

'I'm panicking. God, 'said Bob Cucurullo, a 40-year-old resident. 'My dog ​​meets a cat bear once a week, and then it will go crazy. Now I will have to be careful when it runs in the park '.

Fever in dogs spreads through saliva, urine, feces or respiratory fluid. Animals such as wolves, foxes, weasels and newspapers at Central Park Zoo can be infected with the disease.
