Normally the island nation sees between 200 to 700 cases annually. The recent outbreak recorded 2,119 confirmed, probable and suspected cases of plague, including 171 deaths in four months, according to WHO. The outbreak was contained after the organization responded with $1.5 million in emergency assistance, and 1.2 million doses of antibiotics. These were used for treating those infected with the disease, and the more than 7,000 people who had contact with them.
This year between January and March, 37 suspected cases have been reported in Madagascar with at least 21 confirmed to be the bubonic form of the plague. During this period, approximately 9 deaths were recorded.
The DR Congo has recorded an average of around 100 cases of plague annually since 2013, with a surge in incidences, across a greater geography, since 2019. Last year as the country battled the Covid-19 pandemic, the total number of cases was over 450.
This week UNICEF raised concerns that the disease is making a comeback through a combination of poverty and continuing insecurity, particularly in the eastern province of Ituri, which accounts for almost all the cases and deaths in the country. Between 2020 and 2021, there were 578 cases and 44 plague-related deaths in the province, according to UNICEF..
