A cure was never found. People did not realize the the plague was caused by fleas hoasted by the rats. Bodies were burned. This gave some control but it was still there. The Great Plague of London, 1665-1666, and the Great Plague of Vienna, 1679, were the last major outbreaks of the Bubonic Plague in Europe. Many historians agree that the London fire that year was set to get rid of the plague. It worked. 90 percent of the rats died in the fire. The rest of the rats had mild burns and became flealess.
