The study co-authored by state public health veterinarian
Paul Ettestad blames a trend that has seen affluent families building homes in
areas rodents once had to themselves for changing the distribution of plague in
New Mexico
since the 1980s.
The Albuquerque Journal reports the disease was previously
most common in low-income communities in the northwestern part of the state.
The
study was published earlier this year in the journal Emerging Infectious
Diseases.
