The Bubonic Plague never ended........

It just died down.

The black death can still occur today but it is very rare and both the pneumonic and bubonic plagues have cures.(Usually a dose of penicillin) but the septicemic plague still does not have a cure.

AnswerThe Bubonic Plague didn't stop. It's still around today. However, when people discovered antibiotics [the cure for it] much less people died from it. AnswerThe bubonic plague has come in waves recorded from the time of Justinian, the Byzantine emperor, about 541 AD. The disease vectors include rodents and fleas. Since it killed most of these, the numbers of rodents and fleas were reduced in addition to the numbers of human beings. This had the effect of limiting further spread for a while.

Unfortunately, the bacteria responsible for the plague sporify and remain viable for centuries. Bodies buried in mass graves were uncovered by burrowing rodents from time to time, bringing new waves of the plague.

Eliminating rats is important for preventing spread of the plague. One way to do this is to allow cats to live around homes, which might not to have been allowed in some places during the middle ages, because of superstition. (I cannot find really good documentation on this, but it appears, without citations, on the web.) Another is to protect food sources and limit access by rodents to waste. Keeping houses clean is an important issue, and especially clearing out infestations of fleas.

The Black Death was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. It is widely thought to have been an outbreak of bubonic plague caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, but this view has recently been challenged. Usually thought to have started in Central Asia, it had reached the Crimea by 1346 and from there, probably from black rats on merchant ships, it spread throughout the Mediterranean and Europe. The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population, reducing the world's population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400. This has been seen as creating a series of religious, social and economic upheavals which had profound effects on the course of European history. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover. The plague returned at various times, resulting in a larger number of deaths, until it left Europe in the 19th century.
