Where bubonic plague started?

Answer 1

== == * Plague is primarily a disease of rodents. Infection most often occurs when a person is bitten by a rat or flea that has fed on an infected rodent. The bacteria multiply inside the flea, sticking together to form a plug that blocks its stomach and causes it to begin to starve. The flea then voraciously bite a host and continues to feed, even though it is unable to satisfy its hunger. During the feeding process, blood cannot flow into the blocked stomach, and consequently the flea vomits blood tainted with the bacteria back into the bite wound. The Bubonic Plague bacterium then infects a new host, and the flea eventually dies from starvation. Any serious outbreak of plague is usually started by other disease outbreaks in rodents, or some other crash in the rodent population. During these outbreaks, infected fleas that have lost their normal hosts seek other sources of blood. * The Pope (Gregory IX) effectively outlawed cats with a papal bulletin Vox in Rama (1232). Cats had been killing the rats, which hosted diseased fleas, which in turn over populated. Only the aristocracy kept their cats through this ban as many more vulnerable cats and citizens where burned at the stake as witches.

Answer 2

Well it started in china. As the Chinese merchants traded with other civilizations on the Silk road, the rodents (they have the plague, just as pigs carry "Swine Flu") boarded trading ships on the Mediterranean Sea. Then they landed in Italy. Where fleas picked it up, as well as rodents, and started spreading the disease. Hope I helped!

Answer 3

it started in infected fleas carried by rats and leaving the rats after they died taking to humans. Thousands were to die of the plague in London . September was the key month when the disease ravaged the city. However, death from the plague had started earlier in the year with the first recorded death in June in the Drury Lane area of the city. How many actually died in London probably will not be known. Historians rely on the Bills of Mortality released each week for the 130 parishes in and around London (97 within the City Walls, 16 outside of the City Walls and 17 further a field). Whether these were accurate is not known. It is possible that the clerks involved in the collection of data were so overwhelmed that accurate figures simply could not be kept. It has also been suggested that searchers claimed for people who had not died of the plague but of something else - but they were paid for collecting plague bodies. Regardless of this, there is no doubt that London was hit very hard by the 1665 plague as these figures show.
