Plague is a severe infectious disease mainly transmitted by Yersinia pestis through rat fleas. Clinical manifestations include fever, severe toxemia symptoms, lymphadenopathy, pneumonia, and bleeding tendency. 

There have been many epidemics of plague in the history of the world, and tens of millions of people died. Before liberation, my country also had many epidemics, and the fatality rate was extremely high. In 1992, 

there were 9 countries, including Brazil, China, Madagascar, Mongolia, Myanmar, Peru, the United States, Vietnam, and Zaire, reporting human plague in the world, with a total of 1,582 cases. Most of the patients 

were concentrated in Africa, and the fatality rate was 8.7%. There are 29 cases in my country, concentrated in Xishuangbanna. The confirmed plague foci in China are distributed in 17 provinces (autonomous regions) 

and 216 counties, and animal plague continues. The human plague expanded from two provinces (Qinghai and Tibet) in 1985 to six provinces including Yunnan, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Gansu. In 1994, 693 cases 

of plague broke out in neighboring India. The work of preventing and controlling plague in my country is still very important.
