Answer 2

There were several incidents of Black Death outbreaks in Europe and Asia.
It probably began in China, and from there it spread to India, Egypt, and all of Asia Minor. By 1346 word reached Europe of a horrible plague, with deaths estimated to be over 23 million. and spread to Europe by the late 1340s, (where it received its name Black Death because of the dark blotches that covered the victims).
The Black Death reached the shores of Italy in October 1347 when a fleet of Genovese trading ships (fleeing Caffa of Palestine) reached the port of Messina. By the time the fleet reached Messina, all the crew members were either infected or dead.
From there, the plague spread to Genoa and Venice by the turn of 1347–1348.
From Italy the disease spread northwest across Europe, striking France, Spain, Portugal and England by June 1348, then turned and spread east through Germany and Scandinavia from 1348 to 1350, and finally to north-western Russia in 1351; however, the plague largely spared some parts of Europe, including the Kingdom of Poland and parts of Belgium and the Netherlands.
The same disease is thought to have returned to Europe every generation with varying degrees of intensity and fatality until the 1700s. Notable later outbreaks include the Italian Plague of 1629-1631, the Great Plague of London (1665–1666), the Great Plague of Vienna (1679), the Great Plague of Marseille in 1720–1722 and the 1771 plague in Moscow.
As for midle east the plague struck various countries during the pandemic. The disease first entered the region from southern Russia. By autumn 1347, the plague reached Alexandria in Egypt, probably through the port's trade with Constantinople and ports on the Black Sea. During 1348, the disease travelled eastward to Gaza, and north along the eastern coast to cities in Lebanon, Syria and Palestine, including Asqalan, Acre, Jerusalem, Sidon, Damascus, Homs, and Aleppo. In 1348–49, the disease reached Antioch. The city's residents fled to the north, most of them dying during the journey, but the infection had been spread to the people of Asia minor.
Mecca became infected in 1349. During the same year, records show the city of Mawsil (Mosul) suffered a massive epidemic, and the city of Baghdad experienced a second round of the disease. In 1351, Yemen experienced an outbreak of the plague.

Answer 3

In Europe it began in 1347. The last outbreak in Europe was in the 1700s in a town called Marseilles. However, it is still around today, able not to be treated because of antibiotics.

It has been traced back to Mongolia (or Northern China) and the Gobi desert.

Answer 4

Black death used to sign plague in medieval Europe, that's because the disease caused internal bleeding, as a result blood flooded under-skin area, which looks black as a consequence...There were several epidemic stages of plague, which caused massive death in medieval towns of northern Italy and elsewhere...
