One case of bubonic plague reported in September PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 15 October 2007
ImageThe international monitoring site, Tropical Medical Bureau, reported one case of bubonic plague occurred at the end of September in Mongolia’s Gobisumber aimag. 

The source of the plague apparently came from a marmot, which a 16-year old boy was skinning when he contracted the disease. 

Doctors in Choir report the boy has been successfully treated and his condition is now stable.  

Five experts have been sent to the area in search of infected marmots. Additionally, dozens of people who came in contact with the infected boy have been given preventative medical care. 

Bubonic plague is fairly common in Mongolian marmots and their fleas, but as roast marmot ("boodog" in Mongolian) is a popular dish, some hunters contract the disease every year.
