Bubonic Plague

A pair of tourists in New York have fallen ill with bubonic plague — a naturally occurring though rare disease. The couple from Santa Fe, New Mexico appear to have contracted the disease from the fleas of wood rats around their home. The media on the east coast of the US seem to be having a bit of a panic about it.
