Plague
Pathogen - Yersinia pestis
Plaque is a highly contagious bacterial disease spread through the respiration or animals and is divided into two parts and pneumonic.
One can obtain this plague by inhaling germs from a plague victim or from fleas on rats.
Past
Plague has given rise to at least three major pandemics. The first (“the Justinian plague”) spread around the Mediterranean Sea in the 6th century AD, the second (“the Black Death”) started in Europe in the 14th century and recurred intermittently for more than 300 years, and the third started in China during the middle of the 19th century and spread throughout the world. This casued millions of death and a widespread of religious fears.
Present
Over the last 20 years, there have been 1,000 to 5,000 human cases of plague and 100 to 200 deaths reported to the World Health Organization. This is a re-occurring disease and is a threat in Africa right now, but originally came back in Asia.
Future
For future precautions the disease cannot be eliminated because it is spread by rodents and not people. However insecticides are used to keep overactive flea colonies at bay. Medications and other forms of precautions are also used or will be used
