This diesease comes from the wild animals and it transmitts from human to human. The virus has family of 3 generas: Cuevavirus,Marburvirus and Ebolavirus. The comman animal that human would get it transmission is from the fruit bats.

During the middle age people had lack of knowledge about disease only few people such as physicists or the church would know but not that detail. Even though during the ebola virus struck people still didnt had the cure but they would
The bubonic plague was not only a time of death and great suffering in Medieval Europe, but it was also a time of great religious turmoil. Limited medical knowledge caused people to see the bubonic plague as a punishment sent from God himself. It led people to beg for God’s forgiveness, caused tensions between the Christians and the Jews, and overall caused people to lose their faith and trust in the Church’s authority. The bubonic plague shook the entire structure of medieval religion and was the most important catalyst for many centuries of religious reform.
The people of the town would throw food at you if they saw you in town and you were ill with the Plague. No one in the towns wanted the Plague so they thought if they killed the people that had it; the dieses would eventually go away. Some people would steal the cloths off the dead people and sell it just to make a little money, even if thought that would help spread the Black Plague.
During 1348- 1349, a devastating sickness swept over all of Western Europe that wiped out about half of the population. The Black Death, also known as The Plague and the Bubonic Plague, killed thousands over the span of two summers. The Black Death was caused by the bacteria Y. Pestis, which normally lives dormant in a flea's stomach. However, when a flea bites a rat, the rat becomes infected, which eventually leads to a human being infected. Since rats had a high abundance in 1348-1349, the disease was very easily spread to humans, where it then became airborne (pneumonic), bubonic, or spread throughout the blood, also known as systemic. (The Black Death).
The Black Death was a powerful plague that started in the 14th century that took the life of 25 - 30 million people in Europe (30% - 50% of Europe). The Black Death was spread by fleas and rats that infested carts and ships going through trading routes. Symptoms of the plague usually appear within two to seven days and can include fevers, headaches, muscle pain, dizziness and seizures. But that's not the worst part, people also started to experience painful, swollen black balls called buboes (source 1). The Black Death caused many social, political and economic changes in medieval Europe.
The Black Death, which was also known as the Bubonic Plague, was one of the most devastating outbreaks in history in the years of 1346–1353. It came from the east of “Eurasia” and traveled west. It was popping up in big cities and small towns all over Europe. The Bubonic Plague was transmitted by rats and fleas, which had the disease. Some symptoms of the plague were, within three to seven days, one had a fever, headache, chills, weakness, and swollen lymph glands. It affected people exposed to the bacteria. This disease infected women and men of all social classes. People at the time did not know what was the
The Black Death, also known as the Bubonic Plague, was the most infamous plague in the world. It started in China and rapidly spread to Asia and Europe. Between the years thirteen forty-eight and thirteen fifty, it killed about twenty-five to fifty million people, roughly thirty percent of Europe’s population. There are several beliefs for the cause of this horrible plague, including: the idea of God punishing the people, the Miasma Theory, and the concept of rats carrying the disease.
The Black Plague which was also known as The Black Death, first originated in Asia and spread across to the shores of Italy during October 1346. It is believed that the Black Death arrived in Europe with trading ships that arrived at the Sicilian port of Messina. Most of the people on board these ships were already dead, with others terribly ill. Many sailors had black boils on their body that were full of pus and blood. By the time the sickness was discovered by the authorities it was already too late because the disease had started to spread rapidly all around Europe.
With all people coming in and out of European continent, the Bubonic Plague was brought to Europe. It’s a disease that was brought about by rats from cargo ships and by trade. It causes the capillaries to be clogged with bacilli and rupture, that creates black splotches on the skin which gave it the name the “Black Death.” The Bubonic Plague spread immensely and caused a major decrease in the population. The outbreak caused Europe’s population to decrease by half the amount of people, disrupted trade, and caused violence. The plague caused one of the most advanced empires to go into utter chaos.
The Bubonic plague was a plague that swept through medieval world, killing millions. It spread through infected fleas on rats and poor cleanliness helped spread it through people. The plague started in Asia in the 1200s, and spread through the silk road in the early 1300s. It reached Europe in 1346 and started spreading rapidly, devastating the communities it happened to pass through. The plague would infect everyone, no matter what social class or amount of wealth. The fact that the plague targeted everyone changed the way medieval Europe was, and it helped the downfall of feudalism. The Bubonic plague changed behavior in medieval communities by inflicting such fear into them that they would abandon their family and avoid everyone who was
Imagine being in that horrible situation where you don’t know why the plague started, how and/or why it started. No one knew how they could fight the disease, remove it, or treat it. They had no choice but to let it be and wish for the best and that it wouldn’t hit themselves nor their loved ones. People relied on dangerous techniques or practices to see if it would help at
Living in Europe in the middle of the 1300’s would have been heartbreaking and dreadful. Not only were the living conditions very poor but there was an unknown disease that was wiping out a large percentage of European population. One cannot imagine the fear of wondering whether you or someone you loved was going to catch this deadly disease. No explanation would make a person feel safe from catching it or dying with it. The people of Europe just lived their lives as best they could realizing that nothing they do could ever stop this. They did not have the power to stop this it was far too beyond them. This unknown disease is known as the Bubonic Plague.
The Bubonic Plague, also referred to as the Black Death was a catastrophe that took place in about 7 different countries starting in around 1346. The Bubonic Plague effected not only the health of the people around the region, but the culture (arts and beliefs) of the time as well. In approximately four years, it destroyed a third of Europe’s population and nothing was quite the same in Europe after that.
The Bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death, was a severe outbreak of disease that spread in Europe in the 14th century from 1346-1353. The disease spread faster then originally expected of killing only twenty or thirty percent but killed "60 percent of Europe 's population" ( Benedictow). It is believed the population of Europe was around eighty million and that would add up to be fifty million deaths. It was a horrific death for one to experience and can still be found in the world today. The Black Death was a tragic disease that spread through Europe vigorously killing fifty million people and changed European history.
Bubonic plague has had a major impact on the history of the world. Caused by the bacterium, Yersinia pestis, and transmitted by fleas often found on rats, bubonic plague has killed over 50 million people over the centuries. Burrowing rodent populations across the world keep the disease present in the world today. Outbreaks, though often small, still occur in many places. The use of antibiotics and increased scientific knowledge first gained in the 1890s have reduced the destruction of plague outbreaks. In Medieval times, with the unknowing help of humans, bubonic plague exploded into a pandemic. Known as the ³Black Death², it decimated Europe in 1350, killing 1/3 of the
