Rat Island
Rats were the vector of the bubonic plague
The plague was spread by fleas that lived on the rats.
The carrier of this plague is the rats the carrier of the plague is actually fleas and ticks because they bite the rats and give them the plague. So the carriers of the plague are most rodents, ticks, and fleas.
The plague was carried by rats, who were infested by fleas. As the rats succumbed to the plague, the starving fleas fed on humans infecting them with the plague.
the causes of the plague was the fleas on the rats they bit the rats and then when the rats died they moved on to bite the humans

Wild black rats.
Beacause rats have fleas.
No, rats never carried plague. It was the fleas that they carried. Domesticated rats don't have fleas. Even wild rats are very clean and any fleas they do have don't carry plague much anymore.
Rats in this time carried the Black Plague also known as the beubonic plague. My History teacher gave me this vid link "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZy6XilXDZQ" it's about the black plague and they also do other history songs.
