The Black Plague is contagious because it contains pathogens, or germs that spread from person to person through direct or indirect contact. These pathogens go into the body through your skin, eyes, nose, mouth or other areas and infect the body.

Is black plague communicable or non communicable?

Yes, it was. That's why it was such a problem. Communicable essentially means contagious. Think about cancer. It's a major societal issue, but it doesn't wipe out entire civilizations like, say, the plague did. That's because if I had cancer, and then came in contact with you, you wouldn't get cancer. The plague was different! Anyway, yes, the black plague is a communicable disease.
