#1 Case in LA earlier this year. 2 cases in NYC last year.

Another hygiene disease, like avian flu. If you take precautions, like eliminating rodents, you prevent the disease.

I'd be curious if the pet population soared after the Black Death hit Europe. It would be reasonable to assume that communitied with a lot of pets could have seen less illness.
