Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is endemic to Madagascar, particularly to the central highlands. Although plague has not been previously reported in northern Madagascar, an outbreak of pneumonic plague occurred in this remote area in 2011. Over a 27-day period, 17 suspected, 2 presumptive, and 3 confirmed human cases were identified, and all 15 untreated 20 patients died. Molecu...

suspected and real cases of plague of human beings and of rats. When appraising the value of the work as a help to the student of Oriental plague, it is well to remember that the observations which form its basis were made in England and that the author has had no opportunity of studying plague in a country where the disease assumes epidemic proportions. The few cases both in man and in rat whi...
We have much pleasure in announcing that the lis. 100 prize offered by Messrs. Thacker, ?Spink & Co., for the best essay on 'How Plague is spread,' has been awarded to Major S. Browning Smith, I.M.S., Plague Medical Officer, Punjab, for his paper on 'The Spread of Plague' which appeared in our July number. We have to thank Colonel Lukis, Principal of the Medical College, Calcutta, for kindly ju...
Plague, a flea-transmitted infectious disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, is a primary threat to the persistence of prairie dog populations (Cynomys spp.). We conducted a 3-yr survey (2004-2006) of fleas from Gunnison's prairie dogs (Cynomys gunnisoni) and their burrows in montane grasslands in Valles Caldera National Preserve in New Mexico. Our objectives were to describe flea com...
Black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes) require extensive prairie dog colonies (Cynomys spp.) to provide habitat and prey. Epizootic plague kills both prairie dogs and ferrets and is a major factor limiting recovery of the highly endangered ferret. In addition to epizootics, we hypothesized that enzootic plague, that is, presence of disease-causing Yersinia pestis without any noticeable prairie...
Prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.) are highly susceptible to Yersinia pestis, with ≥99% mortality reported from multiple studies of plague epizootics. A colony of Gunnison's prairie dogs (Cynomys gunnisoni) in the Aubrey Valley (AV) of northern Arizona appears to have survived several regional epizootics of plague, whereas nearby colonies have been severely affected by Y. pestis. To examine potential ...
Knowing whether human corpses can transmit plague will inform policies for handling the bodies of those who have died disease. We analyzed literature to evaluate risk transmission Yersinia pestis, causative agent plague, from and animal carcasses. Because we could not find direct evidence transmission, described a pathway assessed potential at each step. examined 3 sources infection: body fluid...
We reviewed the epidemiology of 49 plague outbreaks that resulted in about 7,612 cases in 30 localities in the Arabic Maghreb (Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt) over 75 years. Between 1940 and 1950, most cases recorded in Morocco (75%) and Egypt (20%), resulted from plague imported to Mediterranean harbors and transmitted by rat ectoparasites. By contrast, the re-emergenc...
Pneumonic plague is a highly transmissible infectious disease for which fatality rates can be high if untreated; it is considered extremely lethal. Without prompt diagnosis and treatment, disease management can be problematic. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2 outbreaks of pneumonic plague occurred during 2005 and 2006. In 2005, because of limitations in laboratory capabilities, etiolo...
