https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarbagan_marmot
"Epizootics of the plague occur in tarbagan marmots in northeastern China and Mongolia.[7][8] The plague in marmots is of the pneumonic form, spread by marmots coughing.[9] The plague can jump from marmots to humans through the bite of the tarbagan flea (Ceratophyllus silantievi), or through consumption of meat.[8] Marmot epizootics are known to co-occur with human epidemics in the same area.[7][8] Human plague epidemics in this area are largely pneumonic plague, the most deadly form of plague.[8] In 2019, a Mongolian couple died of plague after eating raw marmot meat."
