PRO/AH/EDR> Plague - Madagascar (28): fatal, WHO

Plague -- Madagascar
In 2017, plague came early to Madagascar and spread quickly. When it began to move out from the areas where it traditionally occurs, people became increasingly alarmed - both within the island nation and in neighbouring territories and countries. From August to late October [2017], more than 1800 suspected, probable or confirmed plague cases were reported, resulting in 127 deaths. This outbreak is unusually severe, and there are still 5 more months to go before the end of the plague season.
