Mice infected with Bubonic Plague missing from Lab

Keep in mind, though, that the plague is spread to humans by the fleas on mice. And I seriously doubt that the mice from the lab had fleas on them.

Well fleas was defiantly the main vector back in the middle ages, well the vector that lept from the rats to the people, I think then the people could transmit it between humans all by them selves - I could be wrong.

But my point is that it could be a little complacent to take the view that it needs fleas to be transmitted - they could have a variety of methods up their sleeves - if of course there is anything nefarious about this whole thing,
