Also, it lead to the death of between 75,000,000 - 200,000,000 people in North Africa, Europe and Eurasia, making the plague the most fatal pandemic to be recorded in human history.

Furthermore, a bacteria known as Yersinia pestis was responsible for this fatal, epidemic disease and it was transmitted from an infected person or rodent to humans when bitten by infected fleas. Some of the symptoms of the black death are fever, aching joints, chills, diarrhea, delirium, nausea and vomiting, formation of buboes, headache, etc.
