Black Plague Map - World distribution of bubonic plague
The black plague map shown below indicates the world distribution of the disease and of infected rodents as of 1997. Black plague is also known as bubonic plague, or simply "plague". Black plague spread to western North America from China in the late 1800's. From the map it can be seen that plague is now present in animals throughout the western United States, as well as in southwestern Canada. Other major regions where animals carry plague are southern Africa and central Asia.
