How can I find treatment of Plague?

The plague is a serious bacterial infection that is caused by fleas. In the Middle Ages, it was also called Black Death. In the 20th century, less than 5,000 people per year worldwide were affected by the plague. It can be deadly if not treated quickly with antibiotics. Yersinia pestis, the plague-causing organism, lives in small rodents that are most prevalent in rural and semi-rural areas in Africa, Asia, and the United States. The virus is transmitted to humans bitten by fleas fed on infected rodents or persons in contact with infected animals. The most common type of plague involves swollen and tender lymph nodes, which are referred to as fumes in the groin, armpit or neck. The rare and most dangerous form of plague affects the lungs and can be transmitted from person to person.
