The discovery of a rabid cat in the Wesconnett area is the reason for the alert, which will remain in effect through Sept. 8.The affected area borders Robert Gordon Drive and Prince Edward Road down to Blain Street and Patrol Road at Roosevelt Road. It also extends east to west from Fair Lane to Little Acres Lane.
Because the virus can be shed in the saliva of infected animals, the virus is usually transmitted when the saliva of an infected animal is introduced beneath the skin of a bite wound. An animal with rabies could infect other wild animals or domestic animals that have not been vaccinated against rabies.
If a pet is bitten by a wild animal, seek veterinary assistance for the animal immediately and contact the Florida Department of Health in Duval County at 253-1280.
