Bubonic Plague. AKA "Black Death". Was transmitted by the flea that was on the black rat. The flea bites humans, giving them the disease. The brown rat ran out the black rat and that helped get rid of the disease.

Answer 2

The Great Plague (AD 1665-1666) was a massive outbreak of disease in England that killed 75,000 to 100,000 people, up to a fifth of London's population.

Other symptom patterns of the bubonic plague, such as septicemic plague and pneumonic plague were also present.
