The Black Death (also known as the Pestilence, the Great Mortality, or the Plague) was the deadliest pandemic recorded in human history. The Black Death resulted in the deaths of up to 75–200 million people in Eurasia and North Africa, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351. Plague, the disease, was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis.
Scientists now know that the bacillus travels from person to person through the air, as well as through the bite of infected fleas and rats. Both of these pests could be found almost everywhere in medieval Europe, but they were particularly at home aboard ships of all kinds—which is how the deadly plague made its way through one European port city after another.
Even if we are talking about a 14th century disease, a squirrel in Colorado tested positive for the bubonic plague in July 2020.

Humans can be infected through flea bites, the cough of an infected animal or by coming in direct contact with blood or tissue from an infected animal so officials are warning pet owners of the dangers.
