Xenopsylla cheopis (the rat flea)

Step-by-step explanation:

Bubonic plague is mainly spread by infected fleas from small animals namely, rats. It is a result of exposure to the body fluids from a dead plague-infected animal. In the bubonic form of plague, the bacteria enter through the skin from a flea bite and travel through the pymphatic system in humans
