How do you get the black plague?
Plague is a disease that is spread by the fleas of infected rats. If you can kill all the rats, you can slow down the spread of plague. Unfortunately, the highly superstitious people of the middle ages associated cats with witchcraft with the devil, so many towns killed all their cats - which allowed rats to take over, and the plague came with them. So if you don't have plague, leave town and live in a cottage with lots of cats. You'll be safe from plague. Until the villagers come to burn down your house, because of all the cats.....
What effect did the black plague have on the rat flea?
The Black Plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, led to a significant increase in the rat flea population, as these fleas were primary vectors for transmitting the disease. The increased mortality of humans and other hosts created an environment where rat populations thrived, subsequently boosting flea numbers. Additionally, the fleas evolved to become more efficient at transmission, as they adapted to the changing ecological conditions caused by the plague. Overall, the pandemic altered the dynamics between rats, fleas, and humans, impacting their interactions for years to come.
Why did the Black Plague go away?
Flea bites and suck up the blood of a rat and the rats infect the fleas, then the rats die and the fleas go to find a different host ( the human ) and then the flea bites them but can't hold anymore blood so they spit the infected diseased blood back into the human making the human infected with the black plague/ Bubonic Plague

Why has the black plague not come back yet?
The black plague (bubonic and pneumonic plague) never went away. There are periodic outbreaks in many areas of the world. However, the plague is a bacteria which generally responds well to antibiotics, and modern sanitation has extensively reduced the vermin that are the primary carriers and the fleas that are the primary means of transmission, so that outbreaks usually affect no more than a handful of people.
What did philosophers believe caused the bubonic plague?
what caused the black death was rats from china cause when people from china would come over to Europe to deliver things they have made for the europeans and the rats came on the ship with these fleas on them and the fleas carried the bubonic plague witch got into the rats so when the people from china came over with this disease all the rats came out of the ship and the Chinese people died on the ship with the disease it caused the bubonic plague to happen witch it did so that's what happened.
