A 2015 CDC report characterized it as the least common of the three main forms of plague. The other two main forms are bubonic and septicemic.</p><p>"The CDC says Yersinia pestis is transmitted by fleas, cycles naturally among wild rodents and that humans usually get the plague after being bitten by an infected rodent flea or by handling an infected animal.
