Is plague still a threat?
Yes, plague remains a serious global health concern. The World Health Organisation reported 3,248 cases and 584 deaths worldwide between 2010 and 2015. While rare in many developed nations, it is endemic in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Americas, making monitoring crucial, especially after a lab worker's death in Siberia.
