That fateful year saw the world's population enduring what is believed to be a recurrence of the Bubonic Plague, also known as the Black Death or the Black Plague. It is further widely believed that the Black Death was responsible for the deaths of 38,000 Londoners that year.

Why would mercutio choose the plague as the curse for the houses?
The word "plague" has two meanings. "The Plague" is a specific disease, or rather a series of specific diseases: bubonic plague, pneumonic plague etc. On the other hand "a plague" is any rapidly spreading epidemic. The King James Bible, contemporary with Shakespeare, talks about "the plague of leprosy", and obviously leprosy and plague are two very different diseases. It is this secondary sense which Mercutio uses in his curse: he is wishing some unspecified epidemic disease on the Montagues and Capulets, not the specific disease called "the plague".
