Causes of Bubonic Plague Causes of Bubonic Plague: An Overview. Bubonic plague is the most common form of plague. The causes of bubonic plague are bacteria called Yersinia pestis. This bacteria also causes the other two forms of plague: septicemic plague and pneumonic plague (see Types of Plague).ersinia pestis bacteria are usually only found in certain parts of the world, such as Africa, Asia, and South America. Approximately 1,000 to 3,000 cases of bubonic plague are reported each year. Between 10 to 20 of these cases are in the United States, most commonly in rural areas of the Southwest.

- Bubonic 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.lague is believed to be the cause of the Black Death that swept through Asia, Europe, and Africa in the 14th century and killed an estimated 50 million people. This was about 25% to 60% of the European population. Because the plague killed so many of the working population, wages rose due to the demand for labor.

- Yersinia pestis: The bacteria that causes the bubonic plague which in the year 541 (as the Black Death) and later in the Middle Ages decimated Europe. The effects of the plague are described in the nursery rhyme We all fall down.. Y. pestis mainly infects rats and other rodents which are the prime reservoir for the bacteria. Fleas are the prime vectors carrying the bacteria from one species to another. They bite rodents infected with Y. pestis, then they bite people and so transmit the disease to them. Transmission of the plague to people can also occur from eating infected animals such as squirrels.

Plague (disease) This article is about the disease caused by Yersinia pestis. For other uses, see Plague (disambiguation). Plague is an infectious disease that is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. Depending on lung infection, or sanitary conditions, plague can be spread in the air, by direct contact, or very rarely by contaminated undercooked food.

Bubonic Plague What is the bubonic plague? Bubonic plague is a type of bacterial infection which is quite deadly as it was able to take the lives of millions of people in only a short period of time. This is the deadliest and most common form of plague which targets the lymphatic system. The bacteria that cause the bubonic plague are also the ones responsible for the septicemic plague which targets the blood as well as the pneumonic plague which aims for the lungs.

Plague Yersinia pestis bacteria can cause three different types of plague: bubonic, septicemic, or pneumonic. In bubonic plague, the most common form, bacteria infect the lymph system and causes it to become inflamed.(The lymph or lymphatic system is a major component of your body's immune system. The organs within the lymphatic system are the tonsils, adenoids, spleen, and thymus.).neumonic Plague. This is the most serious form of plague and occurs when Y. pestis bacteria infect the lungs and cause pneumonia. 1  You get primary pneumonic plague when you inhale plague bacteria from an infected person or animal.

Bubonic Plague Symptoms Bubonic plague symptoms can occur within two to six days of being infected by the bacteria Yersinia pestis. When a person becomes infected with the bacteria that cause bubonic plague (Yersinia pestis), the bacteria begin to multiply within the lymph system.(The lymph or lymphatic system is a major component of your body's immune system.he period between becoming infected and the start of symptoms is called the bubonic plague incubation period. If they are not treated quickly, these symptoms can rapidly worsen and result in death.

Pneumonic plague Pneumonic plague is a severe lung infection caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. Symptoms include fever, headache, shortness of breath, chest pain, and cough. They typically start about three to seven days after exposure. It is one of three forms of plague, the other two being septicemic plague and bubonic plague. The pneumonic form may occur following an initial bubonic or septicemic plague infection. It may also result from breathing in airborne droplets from another person or cat infected

Plague Plague is caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis. Rodents, such as rats, carry the disease. It is spread by their fleas. People can get the plague when they are bitten by a flea that carries the plague bacteria from an infected rodent. In rare cases, you may get the disease when handling an infected animal. A plague lung infection called pneumonic plague can spread from human to human.

Because the plague killed so many of the working population, wages rose due to the demand for labor.n the bubonic form of plague, the bacteria enter through the skin through a flea bite and travels via the lymphatics to a lymph node, causing it to swell. Diagnosis is by finding the bacterium in the blood, sputum, or fluid from lymph nodes.
