Pneumonic plague

important events of the medieval era. This catastrophic plague spread through Western Europe terminating two hundred million people which happened to be one third of the population between 1328 and 1351(Sterling). The Black Death Plague stands out as one of the most dramatic and lifestyle changing event during the seventeenth century (Dunn). My hypothesis is that with modern medicine and a understanding for the Black Death this disastrous plague could have been prevented and saved over two hundred million

plasmids, Yersinia outer proteins as well as other toxins that it uses to disrupt the body's immune response. Through this, Yersinia pestis avoids harm and effectively infects the circulatory system of its host causing three forms of the plague: Bubonic, Pneumonic and Septicemic. Each form of

Yersinia pestis and the Plague The infectious disease known as “the Plague” is spread by a bacterium classified as Yersinia pestis, which is usually transmitted in the bites of fleas or infected animals or people. Infectious Disease: Signs and Symptoms The plague has three different forms: Bubonic, Septicemic, and Pneumonic. The signs and symptoms of the bubonic plague usually include fever, headache, chills, and weakness and one or more swollen, tender and painful lymph nodes. A flea will typically

stuck in a constant cycle of development and decline that could be attributed to a wide range of factors. The only constant aspect of Middle Ages Europe became its religion, which acted to keep the region afloat even as feudalism, invasions, and plagues sought to destroy any progress that could have been made. Feudalism is an interesting concept in theory, but in practice, at least in Europe, it only serves to stagnate progress and hurt the region. Feudalism was a form of government in which wealthy

The Black Death or “plague” that killed thousands in the fourteenth century may have evolved into a more modern version of itself. The “plague” is known as the “Yersinia pestis” bacteria, which is a rare zoonotic disease. These diseases are spread from animal to human (Newquist 239, Adamloakun M.D. 718). The bacterium lives in rodents such as rats and is carried by fleas (Newquist 238). When the fleas bite humans, the bacterium spreads. There are three types of the plague, which include the bubonic

Known as infectious diseases that spread quickly and kill countless people, plagues have had a tremendous affect on people around the world since the beginning of time. The Black Death, also known as the bubonic plague, is a contagious bacterial infection that has killed millions of people. With the bubonic plague brutally killing one fourth of Europe in the 14th century and devastating China

Introduction Plague, also known as the Black Death, was one of the most devastating pandemics in the history of mankind, resulting in the deaths of almost 75 to 200 million people, and peaking in Europe in the years 1346to 1353 (Dunham, 2008). Analysis of DNA from victims in northern and southern Europe indicated that the pathogen responsible for causing several forms of the disease was the Yersinia pestis bacterium (Haensch et al, 2010). The use of the term plague is presently applied to the bacterial

pandemic of plague called the Black Death, traveled from China to Europe affecting the importance of cities, creating economic and demographic crises, as well as political dislocation and realignment, and bringing about powerful new currents in culture and religion.      In the beginning, the Italian town of Genoa was one of the busiest ports in Europe. Ships sailed from there to trade all over the Mediterranean Sea. In October of 1347, 12 merchant

The Black plagues also known as the Bubonic plague. A violent disease able to kill over hundreds of thousand people, destroy the work force and leave an economic impact all around Europe. The black plague began in the Middle Ages around 1300s. It occurred in china traveling all the way to every country in Europe. The black death began in china, since china is one of the busiest world's trading nations, it took some time to spread to western Asia and Europe, and then to India, Persia, Syria, and

Europe during the Middle Ages. Not helping the situation, the medicinal knowledge of the people of Europe of the time was not up to par. Some of the diseases and illness that were running rampant during these times were pneumonia, leprosy, and the plague. The middle ages were a time of great suffering and death because of the abundant disease and lack of knowledge of the spread and treatments. Leprosy was one of the greatest concerns during the middle ages. Many people feared catching this disease
