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.
It is true that the black rat did host a species of rat flea that harbored the Yersinia pestis bacteria that causes plague. There were, however other factors involved in the âperfect stormâ that was the plague pandemic which helped make it so deadly, a set of circumstances that is unlikely to be seen again.
