Rare Bacterial Diseases and/or Mosquito Bite Virus Diseases and/or Encephalitis Virus disease of America’s and Russia and Africa and Asia and Australia
What is it?
Plague
Countries affected are:
North America
United States of America (Alaska, Hawaii, Oahu, Maui)
Plague – caused by the bacterium, Yersinia pestis, Humans usually get plague after being bitten by a rodent flea that is carrying the plague bacterium or by handling an animal infected with plague (United states of America).

Plague – caused by the bacterium, Yersinia pestis, Humans usually get plague after being bitten by a rodent flea that is carrying the plague bacterium or by handling an animal infected with plague .
Other bacterial disease of America’s
Vibrosis – intestinal disease caused by small bacteria called vibrio.
Vibrio are found in fish and shellfish living in saltwater and in rivers and streams where freshwater meets saltwater (United States of America).
Cyclopsoriasis – intestinal illness caused by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis (United States of America).
Anaplasmosis – Anaplasmosis is a disease caused by the bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum.
These bacteria are spread to people by tick bites primarily from the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) and the western blacklegged tick (Ixodes pacificus) (United States of America).
Cyclospora – Cyclospora is a disease caused by the parasite cyclosporiasis that causes watery, and sometimes explosive, diarrhoea.
The one-celled parasite that causes cyclospora infection can enter your body when you ingest contaminated food or water (Mexico).
