Yes. The bubonic plague is caused by bacteria, Yersnia pestis. This pathogen is carried in the rat flea and normally only affect humans when the rat population drops [due to the plague] and the fleas need a new host.

Bubonic plague and the "Black death" both get their name from the symptoms characterized by this infection. A bubo is a bump-like swelling of the lymph nodes [ found throughout the body] that swells during the infection. The black death is named for the black spots caused internal hemorrhaging from the host's response to the infection.

This disease rocked the ancient world and it is believed that its influence on the present population can still be seen [genetically.] It can also be found as close as our own backyards.
