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 black death was transmitted in two ways, one by a flea that carried the bacteria in a saliva and the flea bit someone. The second way is called pneumonic plague. In this case, the bacteria travel to the lungs and one a person coughs another person can get the plague.
Black Death occurred in 1346 to 1353. Almost 75 to 200 million people died.
Fleas transmitted the disease from rats to humans.
I believe rats was the first to carry the black death, they were called the black rats and the plague was spread to humans, that's what i was told in my history lesson:)
The wild black rat was the main carrier, but the Plague could be passed from an infected person to healthy one as well.
Plague is a serious, potentially life-threatening infectious disease that is usually transmitted to humans by the bites of rodent fleas.
The plague was primarily transmitted through flea bites from infected rats. The fleas would carry the Yersinia pestis bacterium, which could be passed on to humans through the bites. It could also be transmitted through direct contact with infected bodily fluids or respiratory droplets from coughing.
It is possible that the fleas have transmitted the bubonic plague to humans. The plague is easily transmitted from infected rats to humans through fleas.
The disease is transmitted from animals to humans.Plague infects wild rodents, especially rats, and is transmitted animal to animal and occasionally to humans by flea bites. The flea is the vector.
Plague was most commonly transmitted by fleas and rats.
The black death was transmitted in two ways, one by a flea that carried the bacteria in a saliva and the flea bit someone. The second way is called pneumonic plague. In this case, the bacteria travel to the lungs and one a person coughs another person can get the plague.
Bubonic plague
It is transmitted by a bite of an infected flea that lives on a rat.
The carrier of this plague is the rats the carrier of the plague is actually fleas and ticks because they bite the rats and give them the plague. So the carriers of the plague are most rodents, ticks, and fleas.
Yes.
Bubonic plague is usually transmitted by infected fleas. These fleas typically live on rodents, in particular rats.
Yes. Plague-carrying fleas fed on humans, and the plague germ got into their blood.
