The disease was spread by fleas on rats. During winter both the rats and the fleas became dormant thus there were no fleas to bite people and infect them with the plague.
> ANSWER
Heat is a great bacteria breeder.
All the filth on the streets, left rotting in the height of summer would have bred bacteria very rapidly, spring and summer are after all known as breeding seasons.
In winter, most warmblooded creatures hibernate (even we humans tend to like to stay curled up with a cuppa and duvet).
So, not only the rats but the fleas and the bacteria too would have bred less during winter (this also would have given people time to develop a bit more resistance to the disease).
What else can I help you with?
Why did the plague known as black death disappear in winter?
The Black Death disappeared in winter because the whole plague came from infected fleas, and in the winter, fleas are dormant, so the fleas couldn't bite people to spread the disease. However, in the summer, fleas are not dormant, so they continue to spread the Black Death to people. This is ironic because most sicknesses are worse in the winter than in the summer.
