Question

Do people still have Black Death/Great Plague today, if the do where?
I would be very greatful if you replied.

Answer 1

According to the CDC there are 1,000 to 2,000 cases of bubonic plague worldwide each year. There are no known cases in Australia or Europe. Areas where cases occur are in Russia, the Middle East, China, Southwest and Southeast Asia, Madagascar, southern and eastern Africa, southwestern United States, the Andes mountains, and Brazil.

Answer 2

The Plague Today

Answer 3

Even today up to 3,000 cases are reported annually to the World Health Organisation.
Many people do not realise that plague is still with us, although it is not as common as it was. There are even some drug-resistant strains in Africa. It's down but not out, which is why this research is so important.
In the last major outbreak 855 people died from pneumonic plague in Surat, India in 1994.
Today, we can survive the Black Death.

Answer 4

Yes, plague still exists. In 2003 there were about 2100 cases worldwide with 182 deaths. 98,7% of this cases and 98,9% deaths were reported from Africa (apparently the last notable outbreaks were in Congo and Algeria). However, there are also cases in the US. About 10-20 people get infected in the US each year. However, there hasn't been a reported human to human infection in the US since the 1920's.

Answer 5

Yersinea pestis is thought to be the cause of black death in the 4 th century, but no one knows for certain

In 2006 Bubonic plague of the Yersinea pestis variety was discovered in New Jersey(2 lab rats), Los Angeles(1case), and the Congo.(unknown).
The last major out breaks were in Europe and China in the 1880s.

Answer 6

Associate with the right fleas here in the US and you can find yourself catching the bubonic plague. There are still plague outbreaks in Eastern Europe and India as well as many other places. With modern medicine and better sanitation, the bubonic plague is no longer the death sentence it used to be - provided the victims have access to medical care.

Answer 7

I highly doubt it. From what I've read, a number of people living in the 14th cent. even had a special gene that prevented them from catching the plague. The plagues (all 2 or 3..) were highly deadly and killed fast, so the chance that someone still has it today are quite small because whoever has it would have died very quickly.

Answer 8

Science is still not entirely certain what pathogen caused the Black Death. It is believed to be a form of bubonic fever which still exists today and is prevalent in certain rodent populations and is transmissable to humans. However it is also possible that the pathogen that caused the Plague has mutated into a non lethal/less lethal form and is no longer a concern. It could also mutate back into a dangerous form and we would see pandemics again.

Answer 9

in most wars the plague stile happens, Africa and Congo, marsh lands,the plague strikes all, human,animals,birds and fish,cattle, so look around you, birds fly and nest,elephants are killed for tusk, which is going into games like chess,music,pianos,cattle,fish,dinning tables, so who can really say anything on where the plagues can be,even children that drink milk,water,and air, black death was mostly coal mines, gold rushes, auto shops,we have not heard the solid answer only where it comes from, that would be all man kind.

Answer 10

It exists, but only in small amounts and this is like in the third world countries...There's a cure for it, I think. Or at least a vaccine
