The plague epidemics of the 6th, 14th, and 17th century are commonly known as Justinian’s Plague, the Black Death, and the Plague of 1665, respectively. Yersinia pestis was the major source of the plague in all three epidemics. Modern DNA analysis studies showed that Y. pestis has a strong correlation with victims of the Black Death in the 14th century. However, although these modern studies show biologically that Yersinia pestis was the cause of the Black Death, many scientists are skeptical and believe that the disease may have been typhus (Nutton). Another study shows a link between Justinian’s Plague and the Black Death (Nutton).…
The Bubonic plague is caused by a bacterium yersinia pestis that is found on the fleas of rats. The disease spread to Europe from the Far East in the 14th century along the trade routes of the silk road. The East was experiencing a great boom in trade and economics under the Mongolian Empire that Genghis Khan had built. The Silk Road saw much more use do to the Mongol conquests and the subsequent Pax Mongolica. This intracontinental trade resulted in the people of Italy seeing their first victims in the mid 14th century.…
The bubonic plague arrived on Genoese merchant ships in the mid-1300s, ravaging major European cities and wreaking havoc on anyone who was unfortunate enough to be within a few feet of an infected individual. The black death, as it was later known, plunged Europe further into the dark ages, leaving knowledge and cultural pursuits to rot with the numerous plague victims. The bubonic plague was so devastating to European society because of the divisions it caused both physically and culturally between families and communities. When the plague hit, physical separation became a means of survival. This phenomenon can be demonstrated through a map of the sickness.…

Both the bubonic plague in Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries and the epidemics, such as smallpox, in the Americas caused by the European settlers in the 15th and 16th centuries were major events that had a significant impact on the areas they affected and their future development. Even though they occurred at different times and in different places, they both share some commonalities. One way these two epidemics were similar is in how quickly and easily they spread, one person being able to infect hundreds or more. Therefore, they both affected large amounts of people and eventually even whole communities died out. One of the many reasons they caused such consequences is that neither the Europeans nor the natives in the Americas were familiar…
The Black Death led medieval European doctors to make advancements in medicine in order to save their patients lives. Doctors had never seen anything like the Bubonic plague before, so when it first arrived in Europe they had no idea how to treat it. This led to doctors searching for new ways to treat their suffering patients. For example, in the book Life During the Black Death, John M. Dunn explains how medieval thinkers believed that in order to treat the plague they needed to restore equilibrium throughout the body. An example of this method of treatment would be feeding a patient cold food in order to bring down their fever (58).…
“How to Survive a Plague” is a documentary that began in 1987. People can say how ACT UP was a fascist group, but this was 6 years after the AIDS epidemic started and nothing was being accomplished. They were an non violent group, and wanted to get the attention of the public. Peter Stanley and many others went on television in hopes of spreading the word, and standing up for what they believe in. One person apart of ACT UP said, “they have the resources to deal with AIDS epidemic, but they won’t do anything unless we force them.”…

Rats, however, are not the cause of Plague—its pathogen—rather, just like human hosts, they are victims of the disease.” Originally, some may think that this plague comes from an animal and is then transmitted to people, but this is not the case. “The actual pathogen is a bacillus (a form of bacteria; pl. bacilli) called Yersinia pestis, which was first isolated and identified in 1894 by the French bacteriologist, Alexandre Yersin, after whom it is named.” The plague comes from a form of bacteria which lives in bloodstream of rats. It then moves from the rat bloodstream to rat fleas and that is how it is carried to its…
