Overview
In October, 1347, the Black Death (then called the "pestilence") arrived in the city of Messina in Sicily. By 1352, 25 million people -- or a third of Europe's population -- were dead...
There have been numerous outbreaks of the Black Death in Europe and Asia, before and after the 1300s. It was during a wave of plague in 1894 in Asia that a Swiss-French bacteriologist named Alexadre Yersin discovered that the Yersina pestis bacterium was the devil behind it all.
