As one of the most serious severe infectious diseases, the prevention and control of plague in China is particularly important.

The fierce momentum of the plague epidemic nationwide had been curbed in a short period, nevertheless, the plague epidemic had never been eliminated and still had been broken out in western China because of the presence of the host of Yersinia pestis. Based on the epidemic situation of plague, we summarized prevention and control mode of plague in Qinghai province .

It has effectively controlled plague prevalence in Qinghai. Itwill provide new strategy for the development and countermeasures of plague prevention and control in Qinghai province.
