    How often does this sort of thing happen? I'm guessing more than we think, either because we forget the news stories we read or because it isn't reported.

      Bubonic plague is known to be active in Colorado, I think there are a handful of cases each year

        Endemic in Antananarivo (very many deaths per year), not sure about the rest of Madagascar.
