The plagues in England

Yersinia pestis lives in the digestive tract of fleas. Therefore, they can live as a black rat (Rattus rattus). Other rodents have infected fleas, but these fleas do not bite humans. Yersinia pestis can survive in feces for up to 12 months, for nests or for even larger packages, which is a year. If plague occurs with flea and mouse population, it is called endemic disease. As plague increases, it prevents blood from flowing into the flea stomach and then threatens hunger; fleas will drain blood from many bacilli to the blood of their artists and lead to death.

How does the Pest reach England? There are many controversies about the exact way of the plague contagious to Britain. But certainly it means that it has arrived through the port of a merchant ship or naval vessel. But is the infected flea carried by grain, cloth, cotton, or the crew, passenger, or rat behind the returning soldier? Also, how does this disease spread from the port to town and country? Rural wild rodents, rats or fleas that transport things, or fleas from a human host?

During the British pest, more women died than men. There are two reasons for this. The first is that fleas are more likely to be attracted to women during menstruation. Secondly, women are mainly caregivers of plague victims. Although this is not thought to be a big social outcome, many women who gave birth have prevented the population increase after the plague died. Plague has also caused more class conflict. This is because rich people are trying to escape from the plague by escaping the town and living in this country, poor people can not do that. After the plague had an impact on Europe another problem also encouraged class conflicts. As more than one-third of the population died when they occurred, a labor shortage occurred across the African continent. The landlord refused to raise wages in France, England, Italy and many other countries and broke out in the second half of the 13th century.

From 1665 to 1666, the plague of London destroyed plague of London and the United Kingdom. According to the city record, approximately 68,596 people died during the epidemic, but the actual death toll is suspected to exceed the total population of 100,000. 460000 This occurrence was caused by Yersinia pestis (a bacterium associated with the occurrence of other plague diseases before and after the London epidemic). The plague is not an isolated incident - in the year 16th year 40,000 London citizens died of plague - but this is the last and most serious epidemic. It started in St. Giles in the Fields in the suburbs of London, and the greatest damage was still in the cities where poor people were densely, Stepney, Shoreditch, Clercenwell, Cripplegate and Westminster It happened in the suburbs. Although it was suspected to occur in the winter of 1664, it did not erupt until the spring of 1665
