Yes. The unsanitary conditions of the cities drew rats to populated areas. The rats were carrying fleas infected with the disease, and those fleas infected to human population. The people were also suffering from weakened immune systems due to the unsanitary conditions and malnutrition (due to food shortages) which made them more susceptible to the plague.
