What is the name for bubonic plague?

AnswerBubonic - having or relating to a "bubo", a swollen lymph node, most commonly heard now refering to the swollen lymph nodes seen with plague. Bubo comes from the Greek word Boubon which means either the groin or a swelling in the groin.Origin for the Bubonic Plague NameBubonic Plague is named because of the symptoms. The bacterial infection produces a painful swelling of the lymph nodes. These are called buboes. Often the first swelling is evident in the groin.

Are Black cat Protectors the Egypt?

They don't have to be black cats. Also, cats aren't really "protectors" they just keep away the evil spirits of the dead and also keep away Anubis who is basicly a dog....thing....it tells you in the first "The Mummy" movie :D The only instince where a black cat has significance would be Halloween. But the origin of the Black Cat has nothing to do with Halloween, it refers to the time of The Black Plague. A theory that the dying people came up with was that cats were the cause of the horrid disease. Because the people wanted to stop the Bubonic Plague, they killed any cat they could find. The "Black" cat part is because the Bubonic Plague is also known as the "Black" Plague, thus the Black Cat came about. It was considered bad luck if a black cat crossed your path because it would mean that you would get the Bubonic Plague.

What are the similarities between the Black Death and the Spanish Flu?

There really is not much of a similarity between the two besides the fact that the both caused a worldwide pandemic. The black death was caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, while the Spanish influenza was caused by a highly virulent strain of influenza virus (H1N1). The most common form of the black death (bubonic plague) is believed to have spread by bites from infected fleas carrying the bacteria. Pneumonic plague, which was less common by more virulent was spread through the respiratory tract. Similarly influenza is also an airborne disease, however, other than that they are completely different pathogens that occured in completely different time periods.

How is the black death actually spread?

Yersinia pestis, the bubonic plague bacterium, is fatal to rats, humans and fleas. The fleas which live specifically on rats are affected by the bacterium, which lives in their digestive tract and prevents them swallowing. rat fleas quite like human blood, but once having sucked some, find they can't swallow and regurgitate the blood back into the human. human contracts plague in one of 3 forms - bubonic, septicemic or pneumonic. oddly, bubonic is preferable, as the other two are almost invariably fatal. Human dies, rats nibble corpse, rats infected. fleas bite rat, then jump on fresh human....
