Plague is an acute, infectious zoonotic disease, primarily of wild rodents and their fleas, that affects humans and other mammals. In Brazil, several plague foci are located in the northeast region.

Our purpose was to update the information on rodents and other small mammals in plague foci in northeastern Brazil.
