Collecting the dead for burial during the<unk><unk>  The<unk> , lasting from 1665 to 1666, was the last major epidemic of the bubonic<unk>  to occur in England. It happened within the centuries-long Second Pandemic, a period of intermittent bubonic<unk>  epidemics that originated in Central Asia in 1331 (the first year of the Black Death), included related diseases such as pneumonic<unk>  and septicemic<unk> , which lasted until 1750. The<unk><unk>  killed an estimated 100,000 people—almost a quarter of<unk> 's population—in 18 months. The<unk>  was caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium, which is usually transmitted through the bite of a human flea or louse. The 1665–66 epidemic was on a much smaller scale than the earlier Black Death pandemic. It became known afterwards as the<unk> "<unk>  mainly because it was the last widespread outbreak of bubonic<unk>  in England during the 400-year Second Pandemic.
