During the Middle Ages , the Black Death ravaged Europe and left nearly a third of the population dead. The epidemic reached its zenith in the years 1348 to 1350, though the disease never vanished entirely. It is widely believed that the cause of the Black Death was bubonic plague , an infectious and fatal illness spread by rodents and the fleas infesting them. Medieval people blamed the pandemic on bad air, witches, and astrology, among other things. Although most modern scientists agree that that the Black Death was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis , there still remain many questions about the nature of the disease and how it spread so quickly.

There has never been a definitive explanation as to why the Black Death subsided. After afflicting some seventy-five million to one hundred million people across Europe, Russia, and the Middle East, the disease began to taper off. Several factors are thought to have influenced the dramatic decline in fatalities caused by the Black Death.
