In humans, the sylvatic plague is a very serious disease that can cause symptoms like swollen lymph glands, high fever, and headaches. If not treated, this disease can lead to death. It is a bacterial disease that mainly affects animals in the wild like prairie dogs and the black-footed ferret. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected flea.
