How is the Black Death explained now?
The Black Death was long thought by scholars to have been an especially devastating outbreak of the bubonic plague, caused by bacteria of the species Yersinia pestis. Recent DNA analysis shows that this is, in fact, correct.As to why the outbreak was so deadly, it is not known. There have been a lot of suggestions, but proof is elusive. It may be that there were an unusually large number of rats and other rodents, and their fleas, all of which are carriers of the plague. That, of course begs the question of why there were so many.There were a large number of later outbreaks of the bubonic plague, but it is similarly not known why they were nowhere near as devastating.

Which is worse the plague or bubonic plague?
Today, when people say the plague as in a disease, they generally mean the bubonic plague.

Pneumonic is far more contageous and kills quicker than the other two, so that's arguably the worst. If you mean the Plague as in the big pandemic that wiped out 1/3 of Europe in the 1350s, it was a mixture of bubonic and pneumonic.
