William Manchester, in his book 'A World Lit Only by Fire', discussed the
spread of disease by explorers. About the Black Plague, he dates it's
introduction to Europe as 1347, "when a Genoese fleet returning from the
Orient staggered into Messina harbor, all members of its crews dead or
dying from a combination of bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic plague strains."
