Rattus rattus They were carried by the wild Black Rat.
It was a disease passed on by contact with people who were infected & fleas, EVERYONE could get it.
Infected fleas in cloth from Italy, where the disease originated, was carried to England via trades ships and then it spread.............
The black death began to spread in about 1437 during the Middle Ages from fleas that bit mice and rats that were infected with a the black death. The fleas would swell from the infected blood they took in and vomit it out. Fleas love to bite humans bite humans any chance they get. Infected fleas bit any human they could find spreading the black death.
what caused the black death was rats from china cause when people from china would come over to Europe to deliver things they have made for the europeans and the rats came on the ship with these fleas on them and the fleas carried the bubonic plague witch got into the rats so when the people from china came over with this disease all the rats came out of the ship and the Chinese people died on the ship with the disease it caused the bubonic plague to happen witch it did so that's what happened.
No, that understanding did not come until the 20th Century.
No it did not come into Canada, as Canada was not discovered by Europeans yet. However, the Black death usually refers to Bubonic Plague so if you are talking about modern times the Black death did come to Canada. However, most would agree, the Black Death did not come to Canada
The Black Plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, led to a significant increase in the rat flea population, as these fleas were primary vectors for transmitting the disease. The increased mortality of humans and other hosts created an environment where rat populations thrived, subsequently boosting flea numbers. Additionally, the fleas evolved to become more efficient at transmission, as they adapted to the changing ecological conditions caused by the plague. Overall, the pandemic altered the dynamics between rats, fleas, and humans, impacting their interactions for years to come.
