Generically, a plague is a highly infectious epidemic disease, especially one with a high rate of fatality that spreads widely and rapidly through a population of animals.

Specifically, the plague refers to a virulent, infectious disease that is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis transmitted primarily by the bite of fleas from an infected rodent. In humans the disease is called the "black death" as it causes black discolouration of the skin.

A plague can also be an influx or infestation of large number of destructive or unwanted animals - a plague of ants

A plague can also refer to an annoying child.

A plague is a pandemic illness or infectious disease that affects a population.

In Biblical terms, it was a curse or affliction. Metaphorically, it can mean any serious or disturbing problems that recur or persist (e.g. plagued by accounting errors).

The "plague" can refer to the Bubonic Plague that occurred in Tudor times, which presented with enlarged lymph glands under the arms, in the neck and in the groin, accompanied by black blisters called Buboes.
