MESSAGE to Residents of St. Stephen and surrounding area:

A presumptive positive case of raccoon rabies has been detected by the New Brunswick Provincial Veterinary Laboratory in the Little Ridge area, near St. Stephen. To protect the community and local wildlife, Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries staff distributed vaccine baits around the area of the case on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. This activity is concentrated along Routes 725, 730, and 735 and all nearby side streets.

The Department advises pet owners to keep dogs on leashes for the next two weeks following bait distribution. While the baits are not harmful to pets if consumed, residents should avoid handling them. If contact occurs, please wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Additionally, please report any abnormal acting wildlife to Telecare 811.

Un cas suspect positif de rage chez un raton laveur a été détecté par le Laboratoire vétérinaire provincial du Nouveau-Brunswick dans la région de Little Ridge, près de St. Stephen. Afin de protéger la communauté et la faune locale, le personnel du ministère de l'Agriculture, de l'Aquaculture et des Pêches a distribué des appâts vaccinaux autour de la zone concernée le mardi 21 avril 2026. Cette activité s’est concentrée le long des routes 725, 730 et 735 ainsi que dans toutes les rues adjacentes.

Le ministère conseille aux propriétaires d'animaux de tenir les chiens en laisse pendant deux semaines suivant la distribution des appâts. Bien que les appâts ne soient pas nocifs pour les animaux de compagnie s'ils sont consommés, les habitants doivent éviter de les manipuler. En cas de contact, il est recommandé de bien se laver les mains avec de l'eau et du savon. De plus, veuillez signaler toute faune sauvage au comportement anormal à Télésoins 811.
