Bubonic Plague or Black Plague started in Europe around 1347. It was a terrible disease that was carried out with black rats and fleas. This terrible disease was affected the Medieval society. It was a terrible because so many peasants died and that nobody was left to farm the land and do the daily work.
The Plague (or called "Black Death") was an epidemic that struck Europe. People from China and Mongolia came with infected fleas carried by rats going aboard ships and that were transported to Italy, Greece and France; when the ships docked, the rats left the ships entering cities bringing the fleas and disease with them. In 1348 the virus, known as the Yersinia pestisbacterium and until 1351 the bacterium had killed 1/3 of Europe. Leaving fewer farmers and other people that held jobs that were important to the economy. The Europeans blamed the Jews for the plague by poisoning the water but it really was caused by flea bites. Other break outs occurred between 1451-1721.
Plague is still around today in small numbers and is treated with antibiotics.

There is a second way bubonic plague can be spread. When the plague gets to the lungs, it sometimes spreads bacteria into various fluids that are ejected by coughing. These can infect a person nearby through the lungs, and the effect of this is a symptoms and death coming good deal faster than the plague coming from a flea bite. When the plague is spread in this manner it is sometimes called the pneumonic plague.
fleas were infected with bacteria, and when the fleas would attach themselves to mice or rats, rats would be running around everywhere in England and would then infect people. there used to be people who would catch rats as a living to stop the infection, but then, the rat catchers just got sick.

I dont think so. Yes. In the early stages, it's called bubonic plague and is spread primarily by insects. In the case of the Black Death in Europe, it was spread by fleas which traveled from place to place on rats. The later stage is called pneumonic plague and is extremely contagious, spread through coughing.
