The black death in Europe was caused by a virus which was carried by fleas. The fleas resided on the backs of black rats. The rats would help move the fleas, thus helping to mâ¦ove the virus. The fleas would bite people, which resulted in the people becoming infected.
Bubonic plague is fatal (though there is now a cure) and leads to an infection of the lymph nodes, which become swollen (bubo is Latin for bump). Here's what actually happens. The bacteria grow inside the flea, causing conditions which block the insect's stomach and induce extreme hunger. The flea starts to feed on a host, and in this way the disease spreads. Boccaccio, Plutarch and Chaucer all mention the Black Death in their literary works. The disease made short life spans even shorter.
