∙ 11y agoThe bacteria causing the disease, Yersinia pestis, lived in the blood of the rat. Fleas drank this blood, and the bacteria lived in their guts. When the fleas bit new victims, they vomited some of the bacteria into the bloodstream, infecting the new victim.

The main carriers of the bubonic plague were fleas and rats. The fleas got it from the rats when they bit them. When the rats died, the fleas went to new hosts, bit them, and gave them plague in the process. Usually the new host was another rat, because rats hang together, but sometimes there was no rat to go to, and the fleas went to whatever animal they found.
