Contagious bacterial disease (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plague

(Other definitions for plague that I've seen before include "Epidemic disease with high mortality" , "Outbreak of a deadly disease, or infestation of pest like locusts" , "Contagious disease with a high death rate" , "Pestilence, scourge" , "Widespread, contagious and destructive disease" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
