it affected it was china, India, the near east and Europe.
All of Europe and Asia.
Yes - it affected virtually the whole of Europe.
Often, it is found in desert areas where it is spread by rats and other desert rodents.
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.
During the plague, people tried various methods to avoid getting sick, such as wearing aromatic herbs, avoiding the sick, or moving away from affected areas. Quarantine and isolation were also common practices to prevent the spread of the disease. Additionally, some turned to prayer and religious practices as a form of protection against the plague.
Geography played a role in preventing the spread of the plague by creating natural barriers like mountains, rivers, and oceans that limited the movement of infected individuals and rats carrying the disease. Isolated areas were less likely to be exposed to the plague due to these geographic features, helping to contain its spread.
Antibiotics such as streptomycin or tetracycline drugs are given, and symptoms are treated. There is also a vaccination available for people working in or traveling to plague-affected areas of the world.
yes, since it is a fungus, it can be spread by touching affected areas. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jockitch
Treatment for bubonic plague should begin as soon as possible with Antibiotics such as streptomycin or tetracycline drugs There is also a vaccination available for people working in or traveling to plague-affected areas of the world.

The areas typically affected are the bladder and the urethra. However, as the cancer progresses, it will spread to other organs which will vary depending on the person. Eventually it will spread to the bones, this is late stage cancer.
