What did the plague of hail do to Egypt?

The hail would pulvarise their crops into pulp. The hail was probably huge, too, because it wouldn't have been much of a plague if it was small. Also, the houses may not have been that great, so it could have damaged the houses, too. the hail would problably be huge it would have been more of a plague because it was small.


Which is worse the plague or bubonic plague?

Today, when people say the plague as in a disease, they generally mean the bubonic plague. However, there are three types of plague: - bubonic - the kind with the swollen lymph nodes called buboes, that's where the name comes from - pneumonic - this is transmitted by coughing and people usually die within 2 days of showing symptoms - septicemic, which is in your blood and causes tissue to die. Pneumonic is far more contageous and kills quicker than the other two, so that's arguably the worst. If you mean the Plague as in the big pandemic that wiped out 1/3 of Europe in the 1350s, it was a mixture of bubonic and pneumonic.


Could the Black Plague ever break out again if so then how?

Almost certainly not, due to the fact that it's believed to now be long extinct. For Centuries, the Black Death was believed to be Bubonic Plague, a pulmonary virus carried by rat fleas. However, the latest historical and archaelological research now indicates that it may, in fact, have been a mutated variant of Ebola, a lethal and rapidly-transmitted virus of African monkeys that can be transmitted to humans. Normal Ebola still exists amongst ape colonies in Africa, but can be contained. The Black Death is believed to have been a MUTATED VERSION of Ebola, which died out naturally hundreds of years ago and has never reappeared. It is not 100% impossible that a particularly virulent mutant strain of the disease could appear at some point in the future, but the likelihood of this happening is extremely low. Bubonic Plague now survives only in specially preserved cultures in scientific labs- as I said, it's not now thought that this was the Black Death, but in any case it can nowadays be treated without too much difficulty.

The spread of the plague was inevitable if not what could have been done to prevent its spread and by whom?

While the spread of the plague in medieval Europe seemed inevitable due to factors like trade routes and population density, several preventive measures could have been implemented. Quarantine protocols could have been enforced more rigorously, and public health education could have been improved to inform communities about hygiene practices. Governments and local authorities, along with health officials, should have taken a more proactive stance in monitoring and controlling the movement of goods and people. Additionally, better sanitation and waste management could have mitigated the conditions that facilitated the plague's spread.

How did the rats get the black death and not die?

They did die. After they were infected by the fleas that were the original carriers, they got sick. They transmitted the virus inadvertantly through the food they nibbled off of in humans' pantries. Humans would eat this food and get infected with the black plague. Towards the end of their lives, as the virus progressed, the rats would go a tad loopy and bite humans, therefore directly transferring the virus to humans. The rats then died. Other creatures would feast on the rat's corpse and be infected. The cycle continued.

What diseases are caused by yesinia pestis?

Human Yesinia Pestis can cause infections such as pneumonic, septicimic and bubonic plague. This is suspected to have been the cause of some of the high-mortality epidemics in human history. It appears to have an effect on some animals such as the black-tailed prairie dog and the black-footed ferret.


How did The Black Plague spread throughout the world?

The Black Plague devastated Europe killing (an estimated) half of the population and spread into Asia. Supposedly it was the Bubonic Plague spread by fleas on rats. This is the most widely accepted theory. Recently this information has been disputed for several reasons, including temperature in which bubonic plague can thrive, rate of spread and death rates and the fact that there were no rats in some affected areas (such as Iceland). This high mortality rate and fast spread can possibly be attributed to respiratory droplet transmission. This allows a spread without the rats and a much quicker speed. Since the bubonic plague often causes coughing, this means that it could be transmitted via the air (aerosol transmission). A low immunity can account for the death rate, similar to smallpox with Native American populations.
