parasite invoilved.Also,Vector-Borne diseases are infections transmitted by the bite of infected arthropod species, such as mosquitoes, ticks ,sandflies , etc. It is beleved that the Balck plague was caused by fleas infected with a bacteria called Yersinia pestis or by rats infected with these bacteria carrying fleas to humans then we can make a claim that the Black Plague was a kind of Vector-Borne disease.

The Black Death was one of the most shocking epidemics in human history. Caused by a single flea weighing 1.08 mg, carrying Yersinia pestis, a bacterium that would is responsible for the plague (Lee, 2017). The bubonic plague of 1347-1350, killed up to 1/3 of the population throughout Europe and turned its social structure into a tailspin. Significant modifications in population have severe outcomes on social structure. When the plague rolled into Europe, it was not bias on who it would infect

exactly was the Black Death, where and when did the Black Death originate, and how did it effect Europe going forward? The first question is, what is the Black Death? The Black Death, or the Bubonic Plague, is a disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. Yersinia Pestis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped coccobacillus, which is spread by the Xenopsylla cheopis, and circulates in areas where a great number of rodents live in a dense colony. Xenopsylla cheopis, which is the scientific name for the Oriental

plague from the bite of an infected flea or rodent. In other cases, from a piece of contaminated clothing or other material used by a person with plague, enter the body through an opening in the skin. At first, the Black Plague developed from “Yersinia Pestis” wasn’t deadly. Over time, it evolved into a fatal disease that wiped out 30 to 60% of Europe’s population. How did it spread? The confined spaces of

Veronicka Vega Professor Shea English 1020 8, October 2017 The Plague in Modern Times Rough Draft Most people when they hear the word “plague” think of the Black Plague that swept through Europe in the mid 1300’s that resulted in millions of deaths. It is not well known that there are areas where the plague is endemic still to this day in places such as Madagascar, Congo, and even the United States. Public health officials and international organizations such as the World Health Organization, have

killed about 25 million people over the 13 years it was prominent. This deadly illness was then identified as the plague. A pandemic that swept through Europe but originated in China. It was a rodent disease where an infected flea, with the bacteria Yersinia Pestis, would bite the rodent making it ill. The rodent population was starting to die off, due to the plague, resulting in mass quantities of fleas. Since Humans and rats were in such close quarters, and there were fewer rodents around, the flea

Black Death (Bubonic Plague) killed many. Even before the death ships pulled into port at Messina, many Europeans had heard rumors about a ship that was making a deadly path across the trade routes of the Near and Far East. ("Black Death."blog 1.) The Black Death was gruesome event. In the 1320’s the Plague erupts in the Gobi Desert in central Asia. By 1347 Black Death reaches Constantinople. In the Fall of 1347 the plague got two more places Alexandria, Egypt were struck by plague. October of the

like, etc. First, I will be talking about the origin of the Bubonic Plague. The Bubonic Plague peaked between 1348 and 1350 in Europe. People also called the Bubonic Plague “Black Death”. The plague is thought to be caused by a bacterium called Yersinia Pestis. The Bubonic Plague was spread to Crimea in 1346 most likely by fleas on rats that traveled there on merchant ships. The Bubonic Plague is responsible for the death of about one-third of Europe's population in the 1300s. It also killed approximately

The bubonic plague, or Black Death, was a deadly disease that swept throughout the Afro-Eurasion landmass. Carried by black rats, the bacillus, Yersinia pestis, wiped out two-thirds of the population in some areas of China, Muslim towns, Southwest Asia, parts of the European population, as well as parts of North Africa. The ramifications of the plague varied from place to place, but it commonly effected areas of Afro- Eurasia socially, politically and economically negatively. Politically, the plague

The black plague was one of the worse epidemic of the world. This disease was a horrible and spread widely thought the world at a rapidly rate. The black plague arrived in October of the year 1347. This disease was arrived by sea when 12 Genoese trading ships docked at the Sicilian port of Messina, through the black sea. When the ships arrived to be docked there was a horrifying sight to see. The people on the boats were mostly dead and the others were barely holding onto life, that they had left
