What are the differences and similarities between Ebola and the Black Death? What are the differences and similarities between Ebola and the Black Death? Answer Wiki. Well one was easily transmitted and, in the several epidemics that swept the world, killed between 1/3 and 1/2 of the infected. Ebola has about the same kill rate but is not nearly as easily transmitted. The Black Death was most likely a bacterial plague while Ebola is a virus.

Plague (Black Death) If not treated, the infection can spread to other areas of the body. Septicemic plague: This form of plague is a result of plague bacteria entering the bloodstream. It can occur on its own or may develop from bubonic plague. Symptoms include fever, chills, weakness, abdominal pain, and shock.There can be bleeding and tissue death, especially of the fingers and toes.neumonic plague: In this form of the illness, symptoms of other types of plague can be present, but the characteristic clinical picture of pneumonia is present. The plague bacteria spread to the lungs or infect the lungs directly when infected droplets in the air are inhaled.

- 1 A sore usually forms at the site of the bite. Plague bacteria enter the skin and travel to the nearest lymph node (gland), usually in the groin, underarm, or neck. The lymph node becomes red, swollen, and painful, and can leak infected fluid.  Septicemic (blood) Plague is a blood infection with plague bacteria. It can result from fleabites, touching plague-infected materials with broken skin, or spread of infection from the lung or bubo. Once plague bacteria are in the bloodstream, severe illness and death can follow quickly.

- However, Bubonic Plague moves much slower at a rate of only 100 yards a year. The math just doesn't fit; the Black death spread on average 10 miles per day while the Plague moves under one foot per day. A person-to-person transmissible virus such as Ebola would have been able to spread at the rate observed.

Black Death Black Death Symptoms The symptoms of the Black Death were terrible and swift: Painful swellings (buboes) of the lymph nodes; These swellings, or buboes, would appear in the armpits, legs, neck, or groin; A bubo was at first a red color. The bubo then turned a dark purple color, or black; Other symptoms of the Black Death included: a very high fever; delirium

Black Death If untreated, of those that contract the bubonic plague, 80% die within eight days. [34] Pneumonic plague has mortality rate of ninety to ninety-five percent. Symptoms include fever, cough, and blood-tinged sputum.

Toxins Signs and symptoms. The most famous symptom of bubonic plague is painful, swollen lymph glands, called buboes. These are commonly found in the armpits, groin or neck. Due to its bite-based form of infection, the bubonic plague is often the first step of a progressive series of illnesses.

Bubonic plague The three types of plague are the result of the route of infection: bubonic plague, septicemic plague, and pneumonic plague. Bubonic plague is mainly spread by infected fleas from small animals. It may also result from exposure to the body fluids from a dead plague infected animal.ubonic plague is one of three types of bacterial infection caused by Yersinia pestis. Three to seven days after exposure to the bacteria flu like symptoms develop. This includes fever, headaches, and vomiting. Swollen and painful lymph nodes occur in the area closest to where the bacteria entered the skin.

Symptoms Plague symptoms depend on how the patient was exposed to the plague bacteria. Plague can take different clinical forms, but the most common are  bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic.

Ebola virus disease Ebola virus disease (EVD; also Ebola hemorrhagic fever, or EHF), or simply Ebola, is a viral hemorrhagic fever of humans and other primates caused by ebolaviruses.Signs and symptoms typically start between two days and three weeks after contracting the virus with a fever, sore throat, muscular pain, and headaches.t is believed that between people, Ebola disease spreads only by direct contact with the blood or body fluids of a person who has developed symptoms of the disease. Body fluids that may contain Ebola viruses include saliva, mucus, vomit, feces, sweat, tears, breast milk, urine and semen.

- By Steve Connor Science Editor. History textbooks have got it wrong about the Black Death, which they say was caused by bubonic plague spread by rats and their fleas. A new study suggests that it was in fact caused by an Ebola-like virus transmitted directly from person to person.

Symptoms Bubonic plague: Patients develop sudden onset of fever, headache, chills, and weakness and one or more swollen, tender and painful lymph nodes (called buboes). This form usually results from the bite of an infected flea. The bacteria multiply in the lymph node closest to where the bacteria entered the human body.

Plague (Black Death) Bubonic plague: In this form of the infection, bacteria infiltrate the lymph nodes, causing enlarged, painful, tender lymph nodes called buboes. Accompanying symptoms are fever, chills, headaches, and weakness.neumonic plague: In this form of the illness, symptoms of other types of plague can be present, but the characteristic clinical picture of pneumonia is present. The plague bacteria spread to the lungs or infect the lungs directly when infected droplets in the air are inhaled.

Symptoms Skin and other tissues may turn black and die, especially on fingers, toes, and the nose. Septicemic plague can occur as the first symptom of plague, or may develop from untreated bubonic plague. This form results from bites of infected fleas or from handling an infected animal.Pneumonic plague: Patients develop fever, headache, weakness, and a rapidly developing pneumonia with shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and sometimes bloody or watery mucous.f the patient is not treated with the appropriate antibiotics, the bacteria can spread to other parts of the body. Septicemic plague: Patients develop fever, chills, extreme weakness, abdominal pain, shock, and possibly bleeding into the skin and other organs.

The Legacy of the Black Death: Understanding the Impact of the Plague on Western Culture through Biology The first plague, the bubonic plague, was the most commonly seen form of the Black Death. The mortality rate was between 30-75%, and the enlarged and inflamed lymph nodes, which formed around the neck and groin, become its most noticeable symptom (4). In fact, the term 'bubonic' refers to these inflamed lymph nodes.

What Actually Happens When A Person Is Infected With The Ebola Virus Ebola generally starts with flu-like symptoms. Though it's known for the extreme hemorrhagic symptoms -- the bleeding out of the eyes, etc. -- not everyone will experience these. In fact, only 20 percent of people will have [these extreme symptoms] Bhadelia said.

What are the differences and similarities between Ebola and the Black Death? They are both human pathogens, but that is about it. Ebola is a virus, whereas the Black Death was caused by Yersinia pestis, which is a bacterium. Almost everything in their life cycles, replication, pathogenicity, vectors, and transmission mode is different. At the molecular level there will, of course, be similarities, but that is true for any living form.

Marburg vs. Ebola Both Marburg and Ebola are hemorrhagic fevers, which means they cause bleeding from multiple organs within the body. In the grisly later stages of the illness, the victim may start to ooze blood from orifices or the sites of injections.hough we don't know very much about how these viruses work, history suggests that between a quarter and half of all people who get Marburg die from it; there is a 90 percent mortality rate among those who contract Ebola. These numbers may be revised in light of the Marburg outbreak in Angola, however.

Stopping Distance Stopping distances are spilt into two sections 1  : during the time it takes the driver to put his/her foot on the brake and push it to the floor (the reaction time) the car travels the thinking distance and. 2  during the time it takes for the car to stop once braking has started the car travels the braking distance.
