Detailed explanation-1: -Skin and other tissues may turn black and die, especially on fingers, toes, and the nose. Septicemic plague can occur as the first symptom of plague or may develop from untreated bubonic plague. This form results from bites of infected fleas or from handling an infected animal.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the study, Barreiro and his colleagues found that Black Death survivors in London and Denmark had an edge in their genes – mutations that helped protect against the plague pathogen, Yersinia pestis. Survivors passed those mutations onto their descendants, and many Europeans still carry those mutations today.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most common form of plague results in swollen and tender lymph nodes-called buboes-in the groin, armpits or neck. The rarest and deadliest form of plague affects the lungs, and it can be spread from person to person.
