Ecological Opportunity, Evolution, and the Emergence of Flea-Borne Plague.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jul 2016

Hinnebusch B Joseph, Chouikha Iman, Sun Yi-Cheng

Abstract excerpt

The plague bacillus Yersinia pestis is unique among the pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae in utilizing an arthropod-borne transmission route. Transmission by fleabite is a recent evolutionary adaptation that followed the divergence of Y. pestis from the closely related food- and waterborne enteric pathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis A combination of population genetics, comparative genomics, and investigations of...
