A tiger at the Bronx Zoo tested positive for the CCP virus, which believed to be the first infection of a zoo animal anywhere in the world and the first case of human-to-animal transmission in the United States.
The 4-year-old tiger and six other tigers and lions have developed symptoms. The tiger is believed to have been exposed to the virus by an asymptomatic zoo worker, zoo officials and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said.
