    The document discusses the Black Death pandemic. It provides background on the origins of the plague in China in the 13th century and its spread along trade routes to Europe, Africa and Asia. It describes the discovery and identification of the causative bacterium by Alexandre Yersin in 1894 in Hong Kong and later discoveries about transmission via flea bites. It gives an overview of treatment developments from antiserum in the late 19th century to sulphonamides and streptomycin. It provides a timeline of major outbreaks from 541-543 AD in Europe and Asia to the second major outbreak in 1346-1359 across Europe, Asia and Africa.

    BLACK DEATH

    Is a disease that has been present in the


    history of human being from the year 500
    A.C. to the present day

    WHAT IS THE BLACK DEATH?


    The black plague or black death was


    the most devastating bubonic plague
    pandemic in human history

    Where did the Black Death

    originate?
    The history of the plague that caused the

    Black Death originated in China during the

    early to mid 13th century and it spread along

    trade routes west to the Mediterranean and

    North Africa.

    Discovery
    In the beginning the causative bacterium of
    plague was described and cultured by
    Alexandre Yersin in Hong Kong in 1894, after
    which transmission of bacteria from rodents by
    flea bites was discovered by Jean-Paul
    Simond in 1898.

    Treatment

    Effective treatment with antiserum was


    initiated by the end of the 19th century
    (1896), but this therapy was supplanted by
    sulphonamides in the 1930s and by
    streptomycin starting in 1947.

    The man who discovered the


    bacterium responsible for the plague

    Our story is set in Switzerland, on


    September 22, 1863, when
    Alexandre
    Yersin was born, he was an eminent
    Pasteurian.

    Alexandre Yersin
    joined the Institut
    Pasteur in 1885 aged
    just 22 and worked
    under Émile Roux. At
    the summer of 1894 he
    discovered the
    plague bacillus in
    Hong Kong.
