Best Answer

Plagues are caused by highly infectious microorganisms (also known as germs). These plagues are sometimes transmitted by various types of animals such as mosquitoes or fleas, which bite people and introduce the microorganism into the blood. In the case of the Bubonic Plague (also known as the Black Death) it is believed that mice and rats carried fleas which carried the infectious organism, Pasteurella pestis.
