Bubonic Plague is the best known manifestation of the bacterial disease plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis (formerly known as Pasteurella pestis). The term "bubonic plague" was often used synonymously for plague, but it does in fact refer specifically to an infection that enters through the skin and travels through the lymphatics, as is often seen in flea-borne infections. Bubonic plague kills about 50% of infected patients in 3–7 days without treatment, and is believed by many to be the Black Death that swept through Europe in the 1340s, killing millions.
In June 2009, Libya requested the help of the World Health Organization after they reported a possible outbreak. Officials said at least one person died and several others were ill.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8105144.stm
