One authority. the late Hans Zinsser. says each sue- cesslve wave became less destruc- tive of life because more people were immune. All through the centuries man vaguely connected plague with rats. Dead rots were observed when the disease raged. But gen- erally it was believed the disease was Divine punishment. It wasn't ui-iill around 1900 that it was definitely established that the rat or other rodent harbors the disease; the rat is bitten by n- flea; the flea then bites a man and transmits the plague to hiim. The disease in one form may be com- municated from men to man. Plague doesn't kill the rat flee. but it causes congestion in his dig- estive organs. If he bites a victim “sucking organs suddenly collapse and thus give the victim a “shot" of contaminated blood. The U.S. Public Health Service says plague among rodents exists in imany places in the world today.
