New ancient Eastern European Yersinia pestis genomes illuminate the dispersal of plague in Europe

4 Oct 2020

Abstract excerpt

Yersinia pestis , the causative agent of plague, has been prevalent among humans for at least 5000 years, being accountable for several devastating epidemics in history, including the Black Death. Analyses of the genetic diversity of ancient strains of Y. pestis have shed light on the mechanisms of evolution and the spread of plague in Europe. However, many questions regarding the origins of the pathogen and its...
