Plagued by a cryptic clock: Insight and issues from the global phylogeny of Yersinia pestis

2021-12-07

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Plague has an enigmatic history as a zoonotic pathogen. This potentially devastating infectious disease will unexpectedly appear in human populations and disappear just as suddenly. As a result, a long-standing line of inquiry has been to estimate when and where plague appeared in the past. However, there have been significant disparities between phylogenetic studies of the causative ba...
