Forms
- Bubonic Plague: Most common; transmitted by rodent fleas (e.g., rats). Causes swollen lymph nodes (buboes).
- Pneumonic Plague: Spread via respiratory droplets; highly contagious; affects lungs.
- Septicemic Plague: Bacteria enter bloodstream directly; causes sepsis, organ failure; can arise from untreated bubonic/pneumonic forms.
