Correct me if im wrong, but what you have to think about is the pest. It was so deadly, because the hygiene (in terms of the streets) was terrible causing massive rat populations and therefore spreading the disease.

That's more about trash disposal than personal hygiene, though.

Hygiene of the streets/city is called sanitation.
