The Black Death

In late November 1347, a ship entered the Italian port of Genoa. It bore a deadly cargo: the bubonic plague.

Having probably originated in Central Asia or western China in the 1330s, the plague's initial progress westward was slow, but after it reached Crimea and Constantinople in 1347, it spread 25._____________(RAPID) along maritime trade routes.

The epidemic's main vector was infected fleas and rats, both of which flourished in the 26._____________(SANITISE) conditions of the time.

There was no cure, but preventive advice was not to eat hard-to-digest food and to use 27._____________(AROMA) herbs to purify the air, and — the only 28._____________(EFFECT) measure — to avoid the company of others.

More than a hundred million people may have died of the plague; estimates put the world 29._____________(POPULATE) at 450 million before it arrived, and 350 million afterward. Its effects were more severe in some areas than others — in Egypt, about 40 percent of the people are thought to have died. The number of people did not return to pre-plague levels again for nearly three centuries.
