Good afternoon everybody

Northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region issued a level IV emergency response on plague prevention and control on Tuesday night, after one patient was confirmed to be infected with the zoonotic bacteria.

The case was originated in another region of the country, local authorities said in a notice, without detailing specific places.

Under the level IV warning, Ningxia will treat the patient with all its efforts and implement relevant epidemic measures to ensure there will not be further spread and transmission.

What is the plague?

The plague is a severe infectious disease that is highly transmissible and has a high fatality rate.

It is a Class A infectious disease, the highest classification under China's Law on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases.

Plague-infected rodents are a key source of the spread of the disease which is mainly transmitted among humans through bites from infected fleas.

According to the World Health Organization, plague is caused by Yersinia pestis, a zoonotic bacteria usually found in small mammals and the fleas they carry.

Bubonic plague is the most common form and is characterized by painful swollen lymph nodes or buboes.

It can be a very severe disease in people, with a fatality ratio of 30 to 60 percent for the bubonic type and is always fatal for the pneumonic kind when left untreated, according to the WHO.

Black Death​


Article Talk

For other uses, see Black Death (disambiguation).
The Black Death (also known as the Pestilence, the Great Mortality or simply, the Plague[a]) was a bubonic plague pandemic occurring in Afro-Eurasia from 1346 to 1353. It is the most fatal pandemic recorded in human history, causing the death of 75–200 million people in Eurasia and North Africa,[1] peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351.[2][3] Bubonic plague is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis spread by fleas, but it can also take a secondary form where it is spread person-to-person contact via aerosols causing septicaemic or pneumonic plagues.[4][5]

According to a team of medical geneticists led by Mark Achtman that analysed the genetic variation of the bacterium, Yersinia pestis "evolved in or near China" over 2,600 years ago.[72][73][74] Later research by a team led by Galina Eroshenko places the origins more specifically in the Tian Shan mountains on the border between Kyrgyzstan and China.[75]
