Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Bubonic Plague is an acute, severe infectious disorder caused by the bacterium (bacillus) Yersinia Pestis. These bacteria can be carried by small wild rodents, other wild animals or even household pets. The disease can be transmitted to humans through the bites of fleas or through direct contact with infected animal tissues. The disorder is most common in Southeast Asia, but it also occurs in some areas of the United States. Major symptoms include an abrupt onset with chills, fever, and enlarged lymph nodes (buboes). Treatment must start immediately to avoid life-threatening complications. A milder form of Bubonic Plague, Pestis Minor, usually resolves in approximately a week with appropriate treatment. Interest in Bubonic Plague has heightened, in recent years, by the awareness of its potential use as an agent of biological warfare.

The normal reservoir for plague is various species of burrowing rodents. Usually fleas transmit the yersinia pestis bacillus between such rodents. However, under the right conditions the fleas can also bite humans, infecting them with plague as well. Thus plague is normally a problem when humans live in close proximity to rodents. Historically, this has meant rats. Slum populations, with poor hygiene, were thus at greatest risk. The typical sign of the most common bubonic form of human plague is a swollen and very tender lymph gland, accompanied by pain. The swollen gland is called a bubo . This is usually accompanied by fevers, chills and extreme exhaustion. Natural plague has not evolved significant resistance to antibiotics, and thus remains treatable in most cases.

Considering this, todayâs LibTalk will point out two books and a video about how epidemic diseases (sometimes called plagues) have changed human history and culture. In particular, we will look at information on Bubonic Plague. Plagues and Peoples (RA649 .M3 1994) was written by William H. McNeil. In this remarkable work, (first published in 1976), he traces the dramatic effect different parasites and diseases have had on civilizations across the world. McNeillâs basic premise is that human populations, especially after the invention of agriculture, have balanced precariously under the burden of micro-parasites (insects, worms, bacteria, viruses, etc.) and macro-parasites (landlords, warlords, kings, priesthoods, etc.). If large numbers of people fall ill or die from the effects of micro-parasites, then the macro-parasites have less to feed on. This causes kin

Extractions: Penn State The Black Death of the 1300s was probably not the modern disease known as bubonic plague, according to a team of anthropologists studying on these 14th century epidemics. Although on the surface, seem to have been similar, we are not convinced that the epidemic in the 14th century and the present day bubonic plague are the same, says Dr. James Wood, professor of anthropology and demography at Penn State. Old descriptions of disease symptoms are usually too non-specific to be a reliable basis for diagnosis. The researchers note that it was the symptom of lymphatic swelling that led 19th century bacteriologists to identify the 14th century epidemic as bubonic plague. The symptoms of the Black Death included high fevers, fetid breath, coughing, vomiting of blood and foul body odor, says Rebecca Ferrell, graduate student in anthropology. Other symptoms were red bruising or hemorrhaging of skin and swollen lymph nodes. Many of these symptoms do appear in bubonic plague, but they can appear in many other diseases as well. The researchers, who also include Sharon DeWitt-Avina, Penn State graduate student in anthropology, Stephen Matthews and Mark Shriver, both professors in the Population Research Institute at Penn State, and Darryl Holman, assistant professor of anthropology, University of Washington, Seattle, are investigating church records and other documents from England to reconstruct the virulence, spacial diffusion and temporal dynamics of the Black Death.

It is the year of Our Lord 1346, and trade is abundant in the wealthy ports of Europe. Merchant ships sail between Italy and the Orient on a regular basis, exchanging goods and glory, prosperity and ... plague? What foul disease could disturb the general peace of the known world? Originating in the Orient, a plague swept westward and, by the spring of 1348, was rampant in the once-thriving Italian port of Sicily. As the plague, quickly becoming known as the Black Death, spread, people began to become afraid. The stories of travelers had been circulating that disaster had struck the Orient a decade earlier. But Europe, detached from the situation, had simply ignored the possibility of its spread. While no one had been able to say why the plague began in the Orient, stories of its spread westward and its dastardly death toll had began to alarm people. Medieval medicine was a mixture of superstition and religion; because of this, the idea that the Black Death was caused by atmospheric corruption over the Orient kept Europeans calm. Later, excused as punishment on heathens and sinners, the Black Death would be scoffed by Europe as a whole. At the outbreak, many ignored its spread in Europe. However, the plague continued to spread rapidly, and people began to doubt their theories when it descended indiscriminately on heathen and Christian, sinner and saint, alike. As people began to realize that the Black Death, also becoming known as the Black Plague, could be contracted through contact with those already infected, cities, and even entire counties, began mass ostracisms and exiles. Infected individuals were forced to remain locked inside their homes, not even daring to show their faces outside their doors, for fear of exile. Humanitarians in communities, appalled at such treatment of the

The bubonic plague bacterium, carried by rats and fleas, is commonly thought to have been the cause of the Black Death which decimated the population of Europe in the 14th century.
Extractions: What is plague? Plague is a bacterial disease caused by Yersinia pestis . Wild rodents, especially ground squirrels and prairie dogs, are the natural reservoir for plague. Rats, wild rodents, cats, and dogs can become infected with plague and the disease is occasionally transmitted to people by fleas. Who gets plague? Plague is extremely rare in the United States, where the small number of reported cases in recent years have been limited to the Western states. Plague occurs in areas where infection of wild rodents is common, including South America, parts of Africa, and South Asia. Are there different kinds of plague? Yes. Bubonic plague gets its name from the enlarged and tender lymph glands, or nodes (called "buboes" during the 14th century, when the disease ravaged Europe). Pneumonic plague gets its name from its pneumonia-like symptoms. How is plague spread? Bubonic plague is transmitted primarily by the bite from infected fleas; however, transmission can occur by bites or scratches from infected wild rodents and cats, or contact with tissue from infected animals. Pneumonic plague is far more contagious because it is spread through the air by sneezing or coughing. What are the symptoms of plague?

John Tull left Beth Israel Medical Center at about 7 a.m., hospital spokesman Mike Quane said. Tull was admitted to Beth Israel on November 5. Tull, whose feet were amputated due to extensive tissue damage, will begin physical therapy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Quane said. Disease investigators believe Tull and his wife, Lucinda Marker, contracted plague from infected fleas on their Santa Fe, New Mexico, ranch. They became ill after arriving in New York on November 1 for vacation. Marker was released after less than two weeks in the hospital. On a Web site she established to update friends on her husband's progress, Marker posted an update Sunday that described three months filled with "very late night conversations with doctors, sleepless nights, tears of great relief and of sadness." "Love to all and we shall return to this fine city soon," Marker wrote. "Thank you for taking care of us."

Texas Tech University researcher Thomas C. Butler, 61, remained free on bond and will no longer be required to wear an electronic monitoring device while he awaits trial. Butler, who is internationally renowned for his plague research, had told the FBI that 30 vials of bubonic plague bacteria were missing from his laboratory, but then, according to court documents, he admitted he had accidentally destroyed them. After further investigation, he was charged with sneaking bacteria into the country, illegally transporting it to labs in Fort Collins, Colorado and Fort Detrick, Maryland, and shipping some samples to Tanzania. He was also accused of lying to federal agents and filing a false income tax return. Butler who had about a dozen supporters in the gallery Friday, declined to comment as he left the federal court building. Under the relaxed restrictions, Butler will be allowed to travel to California to see his son graduate from Stanford University.

Thomas Butler's attorney, Floyd Holder, told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that the professor imported plague about 60 times over the past 30 years, but said his method of transporting the specimens was "absolutely safe." Holder said he believes federal authorities probably will file additional charges against Butler accusing him of failing to go through proper channels in importing live plague samples.

Extractions: View enlarged image Introduction: Plague is an infectious disease of animals and humans caused by a bacterium named Yersinia pestis People usually get plague from being bitten by a rodent flea that is carrying the plague bacterium or by handling an infected animal. 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. Today, modern antibiotics are effective against plague, but if an infected person is not treated promptly, the disease is likely to cause illness or death. Risk: References: Campbell GL, Dennis DT.

Extractions: The Black Death was one of the worst natural disasters in history. In 1347 A.D., a great plague swept over Europe, ravaged cities causing widespread hysteria and death. One third of the population of Europe died. "The impact upon the future of England was greater than upon any other European country." (Cartwright, 1991) The primary culprits in transmitting this disease were oriental rat fleas carried on the back of black rats.
