cases of plague north-east of Kyrgyzstan
in the north east of Kyrgyzstan, Ichke-Zhergez, close to the border with Kazakhstan and the Issyk-Kul lake, a 15 year old died of the plague, 5 others seem to be infected and 105 are in quarantine.(27.8.2013) - Though the officials take precautions and it doesnt seem to spread, you never know, don't get bitten by fleas, stay away from ratty places and don't let yourself cough at. Kazakhstans border takes harder controls only on animal transports so far.
Probably no big reason to worry, but lets have an eye on it.

Reason: Corrected spelling as plague and plaque are two very different things.
