The next outbreak.....

I personally think the next outbreak will occur in the western part of the United States or in Peru. I say this because there was a small outbreak in Peru on July 1, 2010. Although the people of Peru took a lot of necessary measures after the outbreak, the area is prone to have cases of Plague. There are a lot of wild animals there, like guinea pigs for example, that can have fleas. Those fleas bite the infected rodent and then bite a human, transferring the Bubonic form of Plague. In the western part of the U.S., there are also a lot of small rodents which carry fleas. The same process happens as in Peru. The flea carries the disease from the rodent to humans.
