yes it did 1200 years ago... by lice and fleas.
It is not really easy to spread, if you limit access to common blood ingesting pets.

If this were a terrorist hybrid, we COULD have a problem.
I doubt we do at this time.

Does this mean I should get rid of my pet bats and leaches?

Looks like it might not spread if they have them isolated. These people got it from Rats in their area where they lived in San Jose, New Mexico. Looks like the rats in New York city are innoncent!! ;-) All the rats where they lived in San Jose tested positive for the Plague. Hopefully they contained this. We don't need that in this country now.
