Fleas are vectors of Bubonic Plague, carried from rodents to humans when the fleas feed on human blood. In 14th century Europe, more than 1/3 of the continent died from the disease. Although the plague is often believed to be a historical disease, about 10-15 people in the US still contract this flea-borne illness each year.
