Phylogenetic analysis of the origin and spread of plague in Madagascar

2022-03-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Plague is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis , highly prevalent in the Central Highlands, a mountainous region in the center of Madagascar. After a plague-free period of over 60 years in the northwestern coast city of Mahajanga, the disease reappeared in 1991 and caused several outbreaks until 1999. Previous research indicates that the disease was reintroduced to the c...
