1 The Great Mortality

2 Transmission of “Black Death” or Bubonic Plague  Spread by fleas on backs of rats, often in the holds of boats. The flea sucks the bacteria from rats.  Fleas smell exhaled carbon dioxide from humans and animals and jump on them to feed. Fleas can jump 130 times their height.

3 Spread of “Black Death” or Bubonic Plague  Bacteria multiplies inside flea, blocking its stomach, making it very hungry.  Fleas squirt saliva or partly digested blood that it sucked into a flea bite, thus transmitting disease pathogen. Hunger drives it to feed continuously.  Humans can transmit disease through airborne droplets of saliva.
