Answer:
In cases of plague since the late 1800s—including an outbreak in Madagascar in 2017—rats and other rodents helped spread the disease. If Y. pestis infects rats, the bacterium can pass to fleas that drink the rodents' blood. When a plague-stricken rat dies, its parasites abandon the corpse and may go on to bite humans.
