Could bubonic plague strike again?
Part of a city in north-west China has been sealed off and dozens of people placed
in quarantine after a man died of bubonic plague, state media say.
The man died in Yumen city, Gansu province, on 16 July.
A total of 151 people have been placed under observation, Xinhua news agency
says. Authorities have isolated a part of the city centre and three sections of Chijin
town which is an hour away.
The man was believed to have caught the infection after contact with a marmot.
Marmots are large, squirrel-type rodents that live in mountainous areas.

The victim is reported to be a 38-year-old man who had fed a dead marmot to his dog.
The deputy head of the hospital where the man died told reporters that the victim
had arrived with an increased heart-rate and seemed to be slipping into shock. The
hospital has since been quarantined.

The plague
• The plague is one of the oldest identifiable diseases known to man
• Plague is spread from one rodent to another by fleas, and to humans either by
the bite of infected fleas or when handling infected hosts
• Recent outbreaks have shown that plague may reappear in areas that have long
been free of the disease
• Plague can be treated with antibiotics such as streptomycin and tetracycline
• Madagascar recently recorded 60 deaths from plague

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is not clear from reports how big the four quarantine zones are. Ten checkpoints
have been set up around Yumen and Chijin.
Those in quarantine all had contact with the man, Xinhua said. None was showing
signs of infection, it said.
Officials have told reporters that the group could be released after nine days of
quarantine if no further cases of plague appeared among them.
Yumen is a small city in western Gansu province, which borders Xinjiang. The last
reported case of bubonic plague in the city was in 1977, Xinhua said.
Gansu has seen at least five cases of the plague in the last 10 years, according to
the agency.

squirrel-type rodents that live in mountainous areas
Bubonic plague, known as the Black Death when it killed an estimated 25 million
people in Europe during the Middle Ages, is now rare.
It is a bacterial disease mainly affecting wild rodents that is spread by fleas.
Humans bitten by infected fleas can then develop bubonic plague.
Once bacteria infects the lungs, human-to-human transmission of pneumonic
plague can occur through coughing.
If diagnosed early, bubonic plague can be successfully treated with antibiotics,
while pneumonic plague has a high mortality rate, the World Health Organization
says.

China has sealed off parts of its northwestern city of Yumen after a resident died of
bubonic plague last week, state media reported on Tuesday.
A 38-year-old victim was infected by a marmot, a wild rodent, and died on July 16.
Several districts of the city of about 100,000 people in Gansu province were
subsequently turned into special quarantine zones, state news agency Xinhua said.
It said 151 people who came into direct contact with the victim were also placed in
quarantine.
None have so far shown any signs of infection, the news agency said.
The city had set aside 1 million yuan ($94,000) for emergency vaccinations, the
Jiuquan Daily, a local newspaper, said yesterday.
The plague is a bacterial disease spread by the fleas of wild rodents such as
marmots. While the disease can be effectively treated, patients can die 24 hours
after the initial infection, the World Health Organisation says.
Outbreaks in China have been rare in recent years, and most have happened in
remote rural areas of the west. China's state broadcaster said there were 12
diagnosed cases and three deaths in the province of Qinghai in 2009, and one in Sichuan in 2012.
Beijing's disease control centre sought to dispel worries about a wider outbreak of
the disease in China, saying on its website that the risk of the disease spreading to
the capital was minimal.

went on strike on Monday following the death of three of their colleagues of suspected Ebola.
But they have since suspended their sit-down strike as the government looks into
their demands, which include the relocation of the Ebola ward from the hospital and
the takeover of its operations by the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres.
On Saturday, the World Health Organization said that of the 632 deadly Ebola
