From there,it was carried by Oriental rats fleas living on merchant ships. On having realized that the fleas were the principal transmisors of the Black Death,they took measurements,since the clothes of the infected were burned,or they prohibit the entry of merchant ships in the cities,also they burn the infected dead men.
