virus, plague, epidemic, pandemic?
An outbreak every 100 years: Plague of 1720, cholera of 1820, Spanish flu of 1920, coronavirus of 2020
4. Plague is an infectious disease caused by
the bacteria Yersinia pestis, usually found
in small mammals and their fleas. The
disease is transmitted between animals
via their fleas and, as it is a zoonotic
bacteriuma, it can also transmit from
animals to humans.
Symptoms include fever, weakness and
headache. Usually this begins one to seven
days after exposure.
A virus is a submicroscopic
infectious agent that replicates
only inside the living cells of an
organism. Viruses can infect all
types of life forms, from animals
and plants to microorganisms.
