Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes plague, is primarily found in rural and semi-rural areas, particularly in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. It is often associated with wild rodent populations, which serve as natural reservoirs for the bacteria. Plague outbreaks are most common in regions where environmental conditions favor the survival of both the bacteria and its rodent hosts. Urban areas can also experience outbreaks if infected rodents come into contact with humans.
