Because, Anthrax and the Bubonic Plague, also known as Black Death are two different types of diseases. African mammals were often infected with Anthrax, and the spores could have easily reached Europe through air currents. This evidence suggests that Anthrax was present at the time of the Black Death and was responsible for or at least contributed to the great many deaths the plague caused. But whether or not it was the cause of the Black Death, or simply aided the Bubonic Plague in some capacity in making people sick, remains unclear.

Europeans were able to differentiate between anthrax and the black death based on the symptoms and transmission of the diseases. The black death was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which spread through fleas on rats, while anthrax is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, typically contracted through contact with infected animals or their products. Additionally, the distinctive buboes, or swollen lymph nodes, associated with the black death helped in its identification.
