. Scientists and historians at the beginning of the 20th century assumed that the Black Death was an outbreak of the same diseases, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and spread by fleas which primarily made use of highly mobile small animal populations like that of the black rat (Rattus rattus).

The plague was a disease with the bacteria called yersia pestis. It spread by fleas and rats. It was dangerous becauce if you are a soldier and you are on a horse, the horse probably has fleas and it could jump on you and bite you. It was a disease that started out with little bumps. It is called the black death because the little bumps soon turned black. A doctor called Guy de Chaulliac was researching this disease. While looking over th patients, he caught it himself. He looked at his research and was able to heal himself. He wrote this book about diseases. I think it was called the book of surgery. It was good enough to help people out for 300 years after that time. It's funny because the people that we need the most are the people that die first. They risk their lives to help us.

The Black Death was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. It is widely thought to have been an outbreak of bubonic plague caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, but this view has recently been challenged. Usually thought to have started in Central Asia, it had reached the Crimea by 1346 and from there, probably carried by fleas residing on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships, it spread throughout the Mediterranean and Europe. The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population, reducing the world's population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400. This has been seen as creating a series of religious, social and economic upheavals which had profound effects on the course of European history. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover. The plague returned at various times, resulting in a larger number of deaths, until it left Europe in the 19th century.
