A new plague which jumps from rats to humans has been discovered by scientists.
Fears are growing that increasing numbers of brown rats – the most common kind in Europe – are carrying a strain of bacteria that can cause serious illness in humans from heart disease to infection of the spleen and nervous system.
The new strain of bacteria called Bartonella rochalimae is spread between rats by fleas, Taiwanese researchers have said.
It was first discovered in an American woman with an enlarged spleen who had recently travelled to Peru.

‘This event raised concern that it could be a newly emerged zoonotic pathogen,’ said Professor Chao-Chin Chang from the National Chung Hsing University in Taiwan.
‘Therefore, we decided to investigate further to understand if rodents living close to human environment could carry this bacteria.’
Scientists have found that rodents carry several pathogenic species of Bartonella, such as B. elizabethae, which can cause inflammation of the heart and B. grahamii, which causes inflammation of the retina and optic nerve of the eye.

You people don’t seem to trust your gov’t /nwo insertion team,it is sad ,a lack of trust is a bad….bad thing,i am sure that just because your gov’t developed aids and spent thousands of dollars on excavating a body that had the only form of spanish flue left on the planet,doesn’t mean that they would use it to wipe out your population….does it? No gov’t is working 4 the people[of the nwo]

A plague is coming which one we don’t know, but it will be a killer for sure.
Call your local Health Department and ask them about bird flu preparations including the US Military.
Be aware of the NEW MADRID earthquake area in Missouri it’s due to go and it will bring the country down when it does. Plagues follow natural disasters.

3000mg of vitamin C for 3 days cures bird flu, make sure to have some on hand.

With Bush still in office? There could be another “inside job” underway. Don’t rest until January 20th. Then wonder whether or not Biden and Powell were bullshitting, about another attack on our Country?
I thought about a virus attack after reading The Stand. Steven King’s novel. Just hope nothing like that ever happens. For that matter? Nibiru? Is it real? Is it heading towards us? With 5 planets rotating around it? Questions. Only YOU can investigate. Now Nibiru could waste us all!
