The black plague never really did "end" per se. However, it did die down quite a bit in Europe for two main reasons.
The first is that people started becoming immune. When the black plague came through Europe. Due to Europe's almost non-existent hygiene, the plague infected most everyone. Miraculously, many people's immune system wiped it out on its first run through their body, never getting more than a slight fever and a cough. The people who were infected either died or managed to pull through and became immune in the process.
Eventually the plague simply couldn't affect as many people. Most everyone was immune after it ran its course through Europe. The ones who got it and didn't get an immunity were dead. All that were left to infect were the ones that had managed to not catch it at all.
The second reason was that after plowing through Europe, they started getting pretty good at fighting it. They knew how to take care of the people that got it (though it wasn't completely effective, it did raise their survival rate.)
Once everyone's body was well protected against it, it couldn't really do much. After new generations were born and the original survivors got older, the plague now had new weaker immune systems to attack, and it popped up again, starting the cycle over.
We eventually developed antibiotics to fight it, but the plague started becoming immune. It still continued its cycle.
The plague is still around to this day. People still get it quite rarely. However, the plague is being kept down due to much MUCH better hygiene, well, that and the fact that we don't have rats living in our beds with us.
