The Bubonic Plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, primarily infects the lymphatic system and causes swollen lymph nodes, known as buboes. While it does not specifically target the skeletal system, severe cases can lead to septicemic plague, which can spread bacteria throughout the body and potentially affect bones. However, direct infection of the skeletal system is not a common characteristic of bubonic plague.

What part of Europe did the bubonic plague affect?
It decimated the population and brought about the end of the feudal system.
What is Bubonic Plague?
It was a deadly disease carried by fleas on a rat or rodent. it was common in the black death. it took over 200 million lives. It is an infection of lymphatic system. it is contagious and some symptoms include diarrhea, chills , fever, barfing, ETC.Bubonic plague is the best-known manifestation of the bacterial disease plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis (formerly known as Pasteurella pestis). Bubonic Plague is often used synonymously for plague, but it does in fact refer specifically to an infection that enters through the skin and travels through the lymphatics, as is often seen in flea-borne infections. Bubonic Plague kills about 50% of infected patients in 4-7 days without treatment. The Bubonic plague is believed by many to be the Black Death that swept through Europe in the 1340s.in more simpler words, the bubonic plaque is a disease that in the 1340s killed many people. some of the symptoms are vomiting and buboes(egg-sized swelling or bumps).Bubonic plague is the best-known manifestation of the bacterial disease plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis (formerly known as Pasteurella pestis).

How does your immune system protect you from bubonic plague?
it slows down infection by small amounts, your immune system can defend depending on how much white blood cells, high amounts reduces how quickly it infects. your immune system can eliminate it with the help of anti-botics.
What are the symptoms of plauge?
Bubonic plague-affects the lymph nodes (another part of the lymph system). Within 3 to 7 days of exposure to plague bacteria, you will develop flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, chills, weakness, and swollen, tender lymph glands (called buboes-hence the name bubonic).
Can you survive bubonic plague?
Sure you can! The bacteria that causes the bubonic plague feeds off of iron. If you are anemic, there is not enough iron in your system to keep the bacterium alive. This is where bloodletting becomes useful. Today, when somebody comes down with plague, we feed them antibiotics. They often work. And of course, getting a lot of rest is also useful. your body is better able to create antibodies and resist disease when you are well-rested.
What are the similarities between the Black Death and the Spanish Flu?
There really is not much of a similarity between the two besides the fact that the both caused a worldwide pandemic. The black death was caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, while the Spanish influenza was caused by a highly virulent strain of influenza virus (H1N1). The most common form of the black death (bubonic plague) is believed to have spread by bites from infected fleas carrying the bacteria. Pneumonic plague, which was less common by more virulent was spread through the respiratory tract. Similarly influenza is also an airborne disease, however, other than that they are completely different pathogens that occured in completely different time periods.
What are the differences between the Bubonic and the Pneumonic Plague?
The bubonic plague made the victim vomit, have severe headaches, a high fever, black spots, boils, cough up of blood and have large buboes, sometimes as big as apples, that were filled with puss and blood. They were mainly found underneath armpits and in between legs. The pneumonic plague infected the victims lungs and their respiratory system. It made the victim have bright red blood come from their lungs and out of their mouth.
How how does the plague bacillus and other bacteria spread through the human body?
Lets just look at the plague bacillus as most microbes spread in different ways.Signs and symptoms of the plague: elevated fever, flulike symptoms at first, buboes, which were orange sized, septic shock, cardiovascular collapse.There are two forms of bubonic plague: the bubonic form (cardiovascular) and the pneumonic form (lungs and respiratory tract). The pneumonic was nearly 100% fatal and passed like a cold is. The bubonic form entered the blood and travel into the lymph system. The nodes tried to produce many white cells to fight it off and many times won.
Where is the skeletal system?
The skeletal system are your bones.
Is skeletal system?
skeletal system* bones. :)
What do you mean by skeletal system?
the skeletal system is a system in the body .
When did the great plague start?
It is thought of the black death (bubonic plague, black plague, etc.) starting in 1347 and ended in 1349. It began in the Gobi desert, was passed on from the mongols to Italian fishers who brought it to Italy, sewer system was very bad, rats walked over the cities spreading even more the disease making it an epidemic.
