Black Plague or Bubonic Plague started in Europe around 1347. It was a terrible disease that was carried out with black rats and fleas. This terrible disease was affected the Medieval society. It was a terrible because so many peasants died and that nobody was left to farm the land and do the daily work.
The Plague (or called "Black Death") was an epidemic that struck Europe. People from China and Mongolia came with infected fleas carried by rats going aboard ships and that were transported to Italy, Greece and France; when the ships docked, the rats left the ships entering cities bringing the fleas and disease with them. In 1348 the virus, known as the Yersinia pestisbacterium and until 1351 the bacterium had killed 1/3 of Europe. Leaving fewer farmers and other people that held jobs that were important to the economy. The Europeans blamed the Jews for the plague by poisoning the water but it really was caused by flea bites. Other break outs occurred between 1451-1721.
Plague is still around today in small numbers and is treated with antibiotics.
Bubonic plague
Plague was most commonly transmitted by fleas and rats.
Bubonic plague is usually transmitted by infected fleas. These fleas typically live on rodents, in particular rats.
It is transmitted by a bite of an infected flea that lives on a rat.
rats <><><> Bubonic Plague is transmitted by fleas, which were carried by rats. There was a fear of witches, and of the "familiar" of a witch- the cat- so cats were killed. When cats were killed, rat population increased. Increase in rats meant more cases of bubonic plague.
To be cured from the Bubonic Plague you can use antibiodics. In the previous bubonic plagues when it was a plague there was no cure.
The 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.
