In Milan, people blocked off houses, isolating those who were in them along with the sick. In Venice, people blocked off ports and isolated incoming ships. Pope Clement VI in Avignon sat between two fires to breathe pure air because the bacteria yersina pestis was destroyed by heat.
The most popular theory of how the plague ended is through the implementation of quarantines. This entailed staying out of the path of infected individuals, rats, and fleas. The uninfected would typically remain in their homes and only leave when it was necessary. Those with the financial resources would traditionally escape to the country, far away from the Black Death-infested cities, and live in the comfort of a lavish estate. In cases where infected persons were sharing living quarters with healthy persons, the entire household was quarantined together; this may have been effective in controlling the disease in Milan, Italy, where some families were walled up in their homes and left to die.
So many people died that the spread slowed down and eventually died out

The black plague
The plague was carried by rats, who were infested by fleas. As the rats succumbed to the plague, the starving fleas fed on humans infecting them with the plague.
The plague didn't exist when they were alive. They were before the plague.
In 1349, there were no cures for the plague.
Meketaten was believe to have died from the plague.
rats died out and people survived plague and became immune to it.
I think it stopped naturally, after all the people who were suffering from the plague died.

Genetic diversity - some persons were naturally immune.
Cats were blamed because they thought they had something to do with witchcraft. It increased the spread of the plague because the cats ate the rats which helped stopped the plague.
It was the great fire of London that stopped the plague, people had nothing to do with it as far as I'm concerned. The great fire of London in 1667 was said to have stopped the plague. This was not true. There was very little of the plague left in London when the fire started.
People back then never found a cure for the plague. They didn't realize it was caused by flea's from rats. When people died, they burned the bodies and once there was an accidental fire in London that killed 90% of the flea carrying rats and that stopped the plague from continuing to spread.
It is believed so. Actually I learned that from Ratatouville on the bonus features "My friend the rat" it said that the Brown (Nowegian) Rat actually stopped the plague.
I think the Norway Rat had stopped the plague because it is stronger than the black rat.
trade and commerce stopped during Black Death. People did not leave their houses as well.
The main outbreak of the plague in Australia was from January to July in 1900. Around 100 people died. However, despite extensive cleansing operations in July, which stopped this particular outbreak, ships coming from overseas continued to cause more outbreaks of the plague in Australia right through to 1925. During this time, there were 1371 cases of plague reported, and 535 deaths.
