The Black Plague
The Black Plague killed about 1/3 of Europe's population. The disease most likely started in the east, and a natural disaster triggering it. Fleas would catch the disease and would infect the rats, who traveled aboard to the Sicilian port of Messina. The infection traveled very rapidly, and went to the European country's.
The Plague of Madagascar
The Plague of Madagascar is a bacterial disease that is spread through fleas and rodents. If a human is bitten by an infected flea, usually starts off as a Bubonic form of plague, which is characterized by the swelling of the lymph nodes. If the bacteria reaches the lungs, the human can develop a pneumoniac plague, which can spread from person to person through coughing.
