There were three types of Bubonic Plague:

  • Bubonic Plague
  • Septicemic plague
  • Pneumonic Plague

These were spread in two different ways. The first two were spread by flea bytes, and the difference pertained to how a person reacted, the second being much more lethal. The third was spread by bacteria coughed up and carried in droplets in the air, and was worse yet.

How would you catch the three different types of black death?

In addition to the bubonic plague, there are two other different diseases caused by the same organism, called the septicemic plague and the pneumonic plague. The bubonic plague is spread by rats and fleas; a person gets it by being bitten by an infected flea. The septicemic form is the same disease, except that it has spread into a person's blood stream, where it progresses more rapidly and is more likely to be lethal. If the plague gets into a person's lungs, then the form is the pneumonic plague, and it can be spread in the droplets in the air when that person coughs; another person can catch the pneumonic plague by breathing the air.

How did treatments for the plague improve between 1349 and 1665?

As far as I can tell, there was no improvement in the treatment for plague until the 20th century, and in the 17th it was no different than it was in the 14th. The plague required the use of antibiotics, and the first of these to see widespread use were developed between 1870 and 1940, with the actual use being widespread after 1940.
