Bubonic Plague Resurfaces in China's Inner Mongolia

China's Inner Mongolia has reported two cases of bubonic plague, following a previous infection detected on August 7. The two new cases are the husband and daughter of the previous patient. All close contacts have been quarantined and are currently asymptomatic. Bubonic plague, a highly infectious disease primarily spread by rodents, is relatively rare in China, with most cases occurring in Inner Mongolia and the northwestern Ningxia region in recent years.
