Long time illness was named a bubonic plague; this infectious disease the causative agent of that is a bacterium plague stick (lat. Yersinia pestis), her vection were fleas. An epidemic 1665 -1666 was considerably less than on scales, than more early pandemic "Black death" (mortal flash of illness in Europe between 1347 and 1353 for years). However only in the XVII century a bubonic plague was memorized as a "great" plague, because this calamity became one of the most noticeable displays of illness in England at that time.
