The fleas had a bacteria inside their body which was called Yerstinia Pestis. It developed in the fleas body which then bit rats. The black death originated in china and we don't know exactly how it did. Due to the unsanitary conditions of life in the middle ages the rats would get on ships which would be spread all over Europe and the fleas from the rats would get on and infect people.
