What is Bubonic Plague caused by?
Bubonic plague usually spreads from fleas that have fed upon infected animals such as rats, rabbits, marmots, squirrels and mice. The virus may also spread from exposure to the body fluids from a dead plague-infected animal. The bacteria can enter through the skin through a flea bite and travel through lymphatic vessels to a lymph node, causing it to swell.
