No, not really. Small animals or rodents are sometimes found with it, but they are killed and the area isolated to make sure that it doesn't spread.

The Plague periodically crops up in a variety of countries. It usually appears after a disaster and in areas that do not have quick access to antibotics. Worldwide there are about 1000 to 2000 cases yearly, with only about 15 yearly in the US. Most cases in the US are from contact with the fleas on wild animals.

The last recorded large scale outbreak that affected humans occurred in 2006 there were 1174 suspected cases including 50 deaths reported in the Congo.

In 2002, a village in India reported about 16 cases pneumonic plague. It was quickly and easily contained.
