Event Description
A zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, plague has affected humans for thousands of years and has been responsible for three major pandemics in human history, causing millions of deaths. The first occurred in the 6th century; the second in the 14th century, killing up to one-third of the European population; and the third began in the late 19th century.
Considered a re-emerging disease today, plague is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected fleas and is associated with high mortality rates, especially in endemic, resource-limited settings.

The event will present an overview of the WHO global strategy for plague control, illustrating current technical guidance on surveillance, laboratory diagnosis, clinical management, and coordinated outbreak response mechanisms.
It will also disseminate the key findings from a recent randomized controlled trial on bubonic plague treatment, and seek to engage international and national partners in a technical conversation.
