Its association with humans is an ancient one. The disease is caused by a bacterium, Yersinia pestis fleas , particularly the oriental rat flea, Xenopsylla cheopis (Rothschild), but it also can be transmitted from human to human in its pneumonic form (a lung infection). Plague primarily is a disease of rodents. Under certain circumstances, however, plague can be introduced to humans, where it is devastating. Fleas that have fed on plague-infected rats or other rodent species become infected. Plague bacilli multiply in the gut of the flea, and, if humans are in close association with infected rats, the fleas may attempt to feed on them. During feeding, the plague bacilli are introduced into the victim. In humans, after the bacteria are introduced, the onset of the disease usually occurs in three to four days. The disease is characterized by a rapid rise in temperature to approximately 41 o C. Headaches and delirium quickly follow. The swelling, or bubo, typically can be observed on the second day. The tender buboes are swellings of the lymph glands. The infection then spreads from the lymph nodes to the blood stream, and then to the liver and spleen. A secondary pneumonia may develop because of the deposit of bacteria in the lung tissues. A patient may die in less than 24 hours.

Caused by infection with the rod-shaped bacterium yersinia pestis Millions of people in Europe died from plague in the Middle Ages, when human homes and places of work were inhabited by flea-infested rats. Human outbreaks occur in areas where housing and sanitation conditions are poor, in rural communities or in cities. During World War II, the Japanese army spread bubonic plague by dropping infected fleas over China. The last U.S. urban plague epidemic occurred in Los Angeles in 1924-25. Since then, human plague in the United States has occurred as mostly scattered cases in rural areas - an average of 10 to 20 persons each year. The World Health Organization reports 1,000 to 3,000 cases of plague every year. In North America, plague is found in certain animals and their fleas from the Pacific Coast to the Great Plains, and from southwestern Canada to Mexico. Most human cases in the U.S. occur in two regions: 1) northern New Mexico, northern Arizona and southern Colorado; and 2) California, southern Oregon and far western Nevada. Plague also exists in Africa, Asia and South America. While most outbreaks are of the bubonic type, outbreaks of pneumonic plague can become epidemics and cause public panic and chaos.
BBC NEWS | Health | Bubonic Plague 'could Return To The UK'
Climate changes and increasing globalisation could bring back the diseases of the Middle Ages, an expert has warned.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/health/newsid_456000/456831.stm

Extractions: Climate changes and increasing globalisation could bring back the diseases of the Middle Ages, an expert has warned. Vic Simpson of the government's Veterinary Laboratories Agencies told a seminar at the British Veterinary Association's annual conference that the bacterium responsible for the Black Death which ravaged Europe and Asia between the 14th and 17th centuries could find its way back to Britain. He said black rats, the bacterium's hosts, had recently reappeared in some parts of the UK. "The species has the potential to reestablish large populations in areas of urban decay," he stated. The Black Death was caused by a huge growth in the number of infected black rats living close to man. Infection was spread to man through bites from rat fleas, causing deadly bubonic plague and a highly contagious strain of pneumonia. Mr Simpson said the bacterium responsible - Yersinia pestis - which is still present in some parts of the world and caused 108 deaths in 1992, could find its way back into the UK as a result of international trade.

Extractions: The Black Death that affected Britain in the 14th century was probably not the modern disease known as bubonic plague, scientists claim. The symptoms of the 14th century disease are similar to bubonic plague, and historically they have been referred to as one and the same. Bubonic plague is spread by the fleas of rats and other rodents. However, anthropologists in the US believe the Black Death was caused by any number of infectious organisms, probably transmitted through person-to-person contact.

The man's wife, whose test results were pending, also has been hospitalized. Bioterrorism is not suspected, experts told The New York Times. The couple is believed to have been infected by rodents in Santa Fe. Bubonic plague killed millions of people in Europe during the Middle Ages, who were bitten by fleas from infected rats. But in modern times, antibiotics are effective against the disease, and cases of plague are scattered and few, usually arising in rural areas. In the United States, about 10 to 15 people a year come down with the plague, according to the federal Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Death can occur if patients are not treated promptly with the appropriate antibiotics. Symptoms of plague are swollen lymph glands, fever, chills, headache and extreme exhaustion.

Extractions: The Bubonic Plague Luncheonette: Remember - you read it, it's your own fault! After returning from a hot, sweaty, outdoor session of archery in the midday sun in the yard, I caught a whiff of the foulest odors as I set myself to the task of washing my hands in the kitchen sink. It began coincidentally as soon as I lifted my arms. While I could not put my finger on the exact smell, the acrid aroma resembled something of a mixture of several ex-boyfriends' feet, soaked in something moist and not altogether kosher. It was then that I was informed by Jen that they had been eating [old] bleu cheese while I was out, and in fact, both the sink, the nearby countertop, and frankly, the entire kitchen at that point had acquired its distinct putrid odor. Needless to say, that was a relief, but as an added precaution, I'll now make double-sure to pack an extra stick of deodorant for those times when I'm attempting to impress an attractive man with my targeting prowess. No use risking smelling like a used hooker.

http://www.armymedicine.army.mil/hc/healthtips/09/bubonicplague.cfm

Extractions: Veterinary Services, Fort Carson, Colo. Q: What is plague? A: Plague is a disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis . The bacterium lives in the gut of the rodent flea and is transmitted when an infected flea bites a human or animal. Plague is common in areas harboring rodents such as prairie dogs. As our neighborhoods expand into areas previously occupied only by wildlife, we must learn how to live with the diseases that are common to that wildlife and how to protect ourselves. Q: How is plague transmitted? A: Plague is transmitted in one of several ways. Usually it is transmitted when an infected rodent flea bites its victim. Typically large colonies of rodents, such as prairie dogs, will die when a plague outbreak occurs. The fleas that fed on those rodents become hungry for any mammal that crosses their path. If a human, or a pet dog or cat, enters this habitat, these fleas will begin feeding and can transmit the disease in this manner. Humans and cats are particularly susceptible to this disease. If the pneumonic (lung) form is present in a person or a cat, the infectious droplets from a cough can be a source of transmission. Although dogs usually do not become ill, they can still be a source of infection by carrying the infected fleas home, as can cats. Yet another manner in which plague can be transmitted to pets is if dogs or cats catch and eat infected animals.

Extractions: Cat Supplies Cat Beds Cat Foods Cat Toys Bubonic plague is primarily a disease of rodents , particularly marmots (in which the most virulent strains of plague are primarily found), but also black rats prairie dogs chipmunks squirrels and other similar large rodents. Human infection most often occurs when a person is bitten by a rat flea ( Xenopsylla cheopsis ) that has fed on an infected rodent. The bacillus multiplies in the stomach of the flea, blocking it. When the flea next bites a mammal , blood consumed by the flea is regurgitated along with the bacillus into the bloodstream of the bitten animal. Any serious outbreak of plague is started by other disease outbreaks in the rodent population. During these outbreaks, infected fleas that have lost their normal hosts seek other sources of blood. In , bacteriologists Alexandre Yersin and Shibasaburo Kitasato independently isolated the responsible bacterium and Yersin further determined that rodents were the likely common mode of transmission. The disease is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis The disease becomes evident 2â7 days after infection. Initial symptoms are chills, fever, headaches, and the formation of
