This form of the plague attacked the lungs and was always fatal. This form aggressively attacked the bloodstream and was characterised by bleeding into the skin, causing purple–black blotches to appear. This form was characterised by pus-filled swellings of the lymph nodes in the groin, armpits and on the neck.
2. When a disease is normally located in one place, it is called _____________________________. 3. Describe what buboes are. 4. a.

Pneumonic plague was the most contagious form of the disease. c. Septicaemic plague aggressively attacked the lungs. ANALYSE AND APPLY 6. State the current popular theory explaining why the plague suddenly moved beyond its endemic environment. 7. Examine the different names used for the Black Death. Determine what these imply about the understanding of disease people had and the effect it was having on their daily life. EVALUATE AND COMMUNICATE 8. Construct a plan for a health alert poster helping people identify the symptoms of each type of plague associated with the Black Death.
