    Extractions: Home Medical Reference Outdoor Health / Safety Bubonic Plague Cases of bubonic plague are still reported in the United States. The disease is transmitted by the bites of fleas that have acquired the plague bacillus, Yersinia pestis, from infected squirrels, rats, prairie dogs, chipmunks, marmots, rabbits, and mice. Rarely, the disease can be contracted from direct contact with infected pets, particularly cats. It can also be contracted from skinning an infected wild animal, such as a coyote or bobcat. Treatment should be initiated promptly, and requires intramuscular or intravenous antibiotics. If you are isolated away from a hospital, start the victim on tetracycline 1 gram for the first dose, then 50 milligrams per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight in six divided doses every four hours for the first day, then 30 milligrams per kilogram of body weight in four divided doses every six hours for 14 days. This is extremely suboptimal therapy; the victim needs to get to a hospital as soon as possible. The disease is contagious. All adults in direct face-to-face contact with a victim suffering from plague pneumonia (cough productive of sputum) should take tetracycline 500 milligrams four times a day, or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole one double-strength tablet twice a day, for eight days. Children should take a pediatric dose of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for eight days. All contact people should have their temperature measured twice a day. If anyone develops a fever greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.7 degrees Celsius), he should begin taking an antibiotic and be taken immediately to a physician.

    Extractions: Home Medical Reference Outdoor Health / Safety Bubonic Plague Immunization A preexposure vaccine is available for immunization against bubonic plague caused by Yersinia pestis. This is administered only to people whose travels or occupations place them at high risk. In most countries where plague is reported, the risk is greatest in rural mountain or upland regions. Vaccination is generally considered for those who will reside in regions where plague is endemic, and where avoidance of rodents and fleas is impossible. The vaccine is injected in two doses one month apart, followed by a booster dose after six months.

Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of 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 disease occurs in 10 to 20 people each year in the United States - mostly in rural areas of the West - and are rarely spread person-to-person.

    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.

    Extractions: ONLINE No. 45: May-Jun 1986 Issue Contents Sourcebook Project Sourcebook Subjects Every year a few people in the Arizona New Mexico region contract bubonic plague. Where did this persistent pocket of infection come from? One school of thought has the germ arriving with the rats on ships docking in California during the Gold Rush of 1849. But how could the plague have crossed the mountains and across several radically different ecosystems? One would anticipate finding records of the plague as it made its way into the Southwest. It is true that a less virulent disease, the sylvatic plague, transmitted by similar mechanisms, does exist in the Pacific Coast area; but the bubonic plague does seem highly localized in Arizona and New Mexico. Perhaps another explanation can be discovered in the history of the bubonic plague and the settlement of the Southwest. The plague seems to have commenced in Athens about 430 BC. More or less isolated epidemics followed, but from 1334 to 1351 the disease decimated most of the known world: Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Of course, the American Southwest was not part of the "known world" of 1334-1351. But, coincidentally (?),this was just about the time that the Hohokam and Anasazi cultures began to decline rapidly in the Southwest. Link this observation to the purported Roman and Hebrew artifacts in the region (SF#43), and one sees the possibility that Old World travellers brought the bubonic plague to the New World well before Columbus landed!

    Extractions: Thursday, Nov. 7, 2002 NEW YORK A man visiting New York City from New Mexico has been hospitalized with bubonic plague, the first such case in the city in a century, health officials said Wednesday. The man's wife, whose test results were pending, also has been hospitalized. Bioterrorism is not suspected, experts told The New York Times. The couple is believed to have been infected by rodents in Santa Fe. Bubonic plague killed millions of people in Europe during the Middle Ages, who were bitten by fleas from infected rats. But in modern times, antibiotics are effective against the disease, and cases of plague are scattered and few, usually arising in rural areas. In the United States, about 10 to 15 people a year come down with the plague, according to the federal Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Death can occur if patients are not treated promptly with the appropriate antibiotics.

    Extractions: Plague Disease Plague Pathogen Bacterium, Yersinia pestis Vectors Fleas , especially Xenopsylla cheopis Reservoir Field rodents and their fleas Distribution scattered throughout the world Mortality nearly 100% in epidemic conditions Bubonic plague is among the more virulent infectious diseases. Its association with humans is an ancient one. The disease is caused by a bacterium, Yersinia pestis fleas , particularly the oriental rat flea, Xenopsylla cheopis (Rothschild), but it also can be transmitted from human to human in its pneumonic form (a lung infection). Plague primarily is a disease of rodents. Under certain circumstances, however, plague can be introduced to humans, where it is devastating. Fleas that have fed on plague-infected rats or other rodent species become infected. Plague bacilli multiply in the gut of the flea, and, if humans are in close association with infected rats, the fleas may attempt to feed on them. During feeding, the plague bacilli are introduced into the victim. In humans, after the bacteria are introduced, the onset of the disease usually occurs in three to four days. The disease is characterized by a rapid rise in temperature to approximately 41 o C. Headaches and delirium quickly follow. The swelling, or bubo, typically can be observed on the second day. The tender buboes are swellings of the lymph glands. The infection then spreads from the lymph nodes to the blood stream, and then to the liver and spleen. A secondary pneumonia may develop because of the deposit of bacteria in the lung tissues. A patient may die in less than 24 hours.
