AB  - Plague  is  a  zoonotic  infection  primarily  maintained  in  rodents  and  fleas.  Humans  are  incidental  hosts,  and  transmission  from  rodents  to  humans  is  most  commonly  by  flea  bites.  This  disease  still  exists  worldwide  and  likely  has  been  responsible  for  at  least  3  devastating  pandemics—the  Justinian  Plague  (Byzantine  Empire,  541–542),  the  Black  Death  (Europe  and  Middle  East,  1346–1353),  and  the  plague  pandemic  in  the  mid-19th  century,  which  started  in  China.
