No. The rats didn't pass the plague to the fleas. The fleas gave it to the rats. If you look it up on a history website then it will be likely that this is the way round it goes. This is the right answer so do take notice of it!! :)

∙ 12y agoIt is plague not plaque noob. Anyway, the blood inside of one rat with the illness gets into the blood sucking flees that then travel to other rats and give them the plague too because of the other rats blood inside of the flea. That is how it is spread but I do not know how the illness started.. at least this helps a bit.
