Ecological aspects of the origin of Yersinia pestis, causative agent of the plague: Concept of intermediate environment

2014-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Modern phylogenies of Yersinia pestis (Logh.), causative agent of the plague, constructed using molecular-genetic methods, do not receive a satisfactory functional and adaptive interpretation and are far from being ecologically valid. We have presented an ecological scenario of the origin of the causative agent of the plague through the transition of the initial pseudotuberculosis microbe Yersinia pseudotuberculos...
