Bubonic Plague

Bubonic Plague. In the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia, a city is on high alert after authorities confirmed a case of the bubonic plague -- the disease that once caused the most deadly pandemic in human history. The name comes from the symptoms it causes - painful, swollen lymph nodes or 'buboes' in the groin or armpit.

It is instead spread through the bite of a flea that carries Y. pestis bacteria from an infected rodent. This bacterium, transmitted through the bite of a flea, has caused the death of millions of people. Bubonic plague is a zoonotic disease, circulating mainly in fleas on small rodents, and is one of three types of bacterial infections caused by Yersinia pestis (formerly known as Pasteurella pestis), that belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae.

Bubonic plague isn't history - it's still around and still dangerous.
