		Plague is transmitted by the bite of numerous insects that are parasitic on rodents.
		Bubonic plague is the most common form and is so called because it is characterized by the appearance of buboes—enlarged, inflamed lymph nodes—in the groin or armpit or on the neck.

	Bubonic plague - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bubonic plague is primarily a disease of rodents, particularly marmots (in which the most virulent strains of plague are primarily found), but also Black Rats, prairie dogs, chipmunks, squirrels and other similar large rodents.
		Scientists believe that bubonic plague was responsible for the Black Death, which killed perhaps a third of Europe's population during the Middle Ages, with additional large numbers of casualties in Asia and the Middle East.
		In septicemic plague there is bleeding into the skin and other organs, which creates black patches on the skin.

	MSN Encarta - Plague
		Pneumonic plague, so called because the lung is the site of infection, is most often transmitted by droplets sprayed from the lungs and mouth of infected persons; the infection may spread from the lungs to other parts of the body, resulting in septicemic plague, which is infection of the blood.
		Septicemic plague may also be initiated by direct contact of contaminated hands, food, or objects with the mucous membranes of the nose or throat.
		Untreated bubonic plague is fatal in 30 to 75 percent of all cases, pneumonic plague 95 percent of the time, and septicemic plague almost invariably.

		The Hate Plague is a seemingly non-sentient life form that breeds contempt, violence and hatred in any living creature it comes in contact with, including mechanical and organic life.
		It is also possible that the infection Megatron used on the Maximals in Beast Machines is a different strain of the Hate Plague.

		Crayfish plague, Aphanomyces astaci, is a water mould that infects and kills the European Astacus crayfish.
		The signal crayfish is, although resistant, a carrier of the plague, and efforts to reintroduce the original European crayfish, has been quite unsuccessful because of subsequent large implantations of signal crayfish, most of them done on private initiative.
		Such implantations of the signal crayfish was the reason for the spread of the disease to United Kingdom and Ireland.

	Capacitor plague - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Capacitor plague (also known as Bad Capacitors, Bad Caps or Bloated Capacitors) is an informal term used to reference the common premature failure of certain brands of electrolytic capacitors used on some motherboards, video cards, and power supplies.
		The fact that these failure-prone capacitors are still being used has angered many people, especially in cases where a motherboard populated mainly with high quality capacitors has one or two of the bad capacitors on it, leading to accusations of planned obsolescence on the part of motherboard manufacturers.
		Since these types of capacitors are sealed in an aluminum casing, the pressure builds up within the capacitor until either the flat metal tops of the capacitor begins to bend, or the rubber sealing plug is pushed down.

	Capacitor
		In a capacitor microphone (commonly known as a condenser microphone), the diaphragm acts as one plate of a capacitor, and vibrations produce changes in the distance between the diaphragm and a fixed plate, changing the voltage maintained across the capacitor plates.
		Capacitors are connected in parallel with the power circuits of most electronic devices and larger systems (such as factories) to shunt away and conceal current fluctuations from the primary power source to provide a "clean" power supply for signal or control circuits.
		Capacitors are also used in parallel to interrupting units of a high-voltage circuit breaker in order to distribute the voltage between these units.

		The pneumonic form is an infection of the lungs due either to inhalation of the organisms (primary pneumonic plague), or spread to the lungs from septicemia (secondary pneumonic plague).
		In man, the mortality of untreated bubonic plague is approximately 50 percent, whereas in pneumonic plague the mortality rate is 100 percent.
		Use Standard Precautions for healthcare workers exposed to bubonic plague and Droplet Precautions for healthcare workers exposed to pneumonic plague until the patient has been on antibiotic therapy for at least 48 hours and there has been a favorable clinical response to treatment.

		Pneumonic plague is rapidly fatal and is the only type that can be spread from person to person (by droplet spray) without intermediary transmission by flea.
		Invasion of the lungs by the organism (pneumonic plague) may occur as a complication of the bubonic form or as a primary infection.
		Bubonic plague, the most common form, is characterized by very high fever, chills, prostration, delirium, hemorrhaging of the small capillaries under the skin, and enlarged, painful lymph nodes (buboes), which suppurate and may discharge.

	Plague Fact Sheet - Illinois Department of Public Health
		Pneumonic plague is the most severe form of the disease and death occurs in approximately half of the cases.
		Primary pneumonic plague occurs when the disease is acquired via the respiratory tract without having the bubonic plague; it is considered secondary when it is caused by the bacteria spreading to the lungs after the bubonic form is contracted.
		Plague most commonly occurs in rodents and their fleas, but it also can occur in humans when they are bitten by fleas infected with the plague bacteria.
