The black death, or Bubonic Plague, came from a bacterium now known as Pasteurella pestis. It was carried by fleas who, in turn, attached to rats on merchant ships coming from the East of Europe. These rats then transmitted the disease, which also was contagious to humans. All it took was for one human to get bitten by a rat or flea and he or she would have the bubonic plague.

How did the europeans know anthrax wasnt the black death?
Because, Anthrax and the Bubonic plague, also known as Black Death are two different types of diseases. African mammals were often infected with Anthrax, and the spores could have easily reached Europe through air currents. This evidence suggests that Anthrax was present at the time of the Black Death and was responsible for or at least contributed to the great many deaths the plague caused. But whether or not it was the cause of the Black Death, or simply aided the Bubonic Plague in some capacity in making people sick, remains unclear.
