The bubonic plague, which was responsible for the Black Death of the 14h century, is a bacterial disease spread by fleas, which are carried by black rats. It is believed that the disease originated in Central Asia and was brought to Europe with trade caravans. The general lack of sanitation at the time would have greatly contributed to its spread.
