What countries still have the black plague?

The black plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, still exists today, though it is rare. Cases have been reported in several countries, primarily in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Notably, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and the United States have documented cases in recent years. However, modern antibiotics can effectively treat the infection if caught early, significantly reducing its impact compared to historical outbreaks.
