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.
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.
