How is the plague passed on?

Answer 1

rats

It is transmitted between animals and humans by the bite of infected fleas, direct contact, inhalation and rarely, ingestion of infective materials. I heard from my gf that I am talking on [dream marriage] that small mice or insects might transmit it too.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

The Bubonic plague was passed from rodent to person, these rodents were rapidly reproducing due to the unsanitary and poor trash removal techniques of the medieval times. Cities were also heavily overpopulated.

It was also passed VIA caravans and trade routes that both entered and left Europe
