A plague episode in Surat in 1994, and its spread to other cities in India, lasted only a little over 2 weeks, but it created an unprecedented panic that had global repercussions. At first, the Surat hospital doctors could not diagnose the disease, but when they did, immediate intervention, in the form of preventation and treatment (administration of antibodies) prevented the disease from spreading beyond Surat, Delhi, Calcutta, Bombay and their vicinities. Fewer than 1,200 people were diagnosed with plague. A DNA-based study in 2000 decisively concluded that the Surat episode was a plague, but the Indian isolates were genetically more heterogeneous compared to others in the world.
1994年苏拉特爆发的一场鼠疫疫情及其向印度其他城市的蔓延，仅持续了两周多一点的时间，但却引发了一场前所未有的恐慌，并产生了全球影响。起初，苏拉特医院的医生无法诊断出这种疾病，但当他们确诊后，通过预防和治疗（注射抗体）的即时干预措施，防止了疾病蔓延到苏拉特、德里、加尔各答、孟买及其周边地区以外的地方。被诊断出患有鼠疫的人数不到1200人。2000年一项基于DNA的研究明确得出结论，苏拉特疫情是一场鼠疫，但与世界其他地区的鼠疫菌株相比，印度分离出的菌株在基因上更加多样化。
