No, the plague is not man-made; it is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which occurs naturally in wild rodent populations. Historically, it has emerged in various outbreaks due to factors like increased human contact with infected animals and changes in environmental conditions. While biological research may involve studying the bacterium, the disease itself is a natural occurrence and has existed for centuries.
