Was the bubonic plague caused by rat excrement?

No. Bubonic plague is transmitted by fleas carried by infected rats or people. The pathogen is typically carried by rodents. In the case of the waves of plague that ravaged Europe and the Mid-East in the middle ages, it was carried by rats and other infected humans.The disease you may be confusing bubonic plague with could be cholera which is transmitted by contamination of water by an infected person's feces.Answer:No, it was caused by rats, but not their excrete. the bubonic plague and pneumonic plague were started by rats who jumped off a ship that had come from countries infected with the plague. It wasn't actually the rats that started it, either. fleas travelled in the dirty hairs of the rats and then flourished in the grime and unhygienic areas near London. The plague spread quickly throughout England and Ireland, and only a small part of Scotland was not affected. 1 in 3 people died, altogether. Many towns and villages were quarantined to stop the plague spreading.
