It came from Asia in 1348
It had come from infected rats but it was given to humans by they fleas on the infected rat it sucked up the blood and passed it on to a healthy human who became ill from the plague this type of plague was called the bubonic plague
The underlying disease (Bubonic Plague) appears to be an ancient one, going back to at least ancient Egypt (there are Biblical Old Testament references to it), so the exact time of origin is unknown.
The outbreak of what is known as the Black Death (waves of infection from 1200-1400 CE Europe) was most likely a result of flea-infected rats (fleas are the bubonic plague's infection vector) brought on trade ships traveling from Italy to the Middle East, which had experienced plague epidemics in the preceding centuries. The expansion of trade occasioned by the Middle Ages, the increased contact between Europeans and various other areas of the globe inevitably saw increased disease transfer (in both directions).
However, bubonic plague has been passed around pretty much all of the Old World (excluding sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific island archipelago) for several millennium, so saying that the Black Death "came" from the Middle East is a bit of a misnomer.
China.
The black death from the middle ages is presumed to have been caused by a bacteria, Yersinia pestis. It is thought that it was transmitted via fleas that infested rats and small animals. Ironically, people at the time thought that cats were agents of evil, so many were killed. Unfortunately, this only helped cause the rat population to explode, thus worsening the problem.

The total number of deaths worldwide from the pandemic is estimated at 85 million people; there were an estimated 20 to 30 million deaths in Europe. The Black Death is estimated to have killed between one-third and two-thirds of Europe's population.
