Yersinia pestis: the Natural History of Plague

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2020
The Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pestis is responsible for deadly plague, a zoonotic disease established in stable foci in the Americas, Africa, and Eurasia. Its persistence in the environment relies on the subtle balance between Y.

FPR1 is the plague receptor on host immune cells

Nature, 2019
The causative agent of plague, Yersinia pestis, uses a type III secretion system to selectively destroy immune cells in humans, thus enabling Y. pestis to reproduce in the bloodstream and be transmitted to new hosts through fleabites.

Analysis of 3800-year-old Yersinia pestis genomes suggests Bronze Age origin for bubonic plague

Nature Communications, 2018
The origin of Yersinia pestis and the early stages of its evolution are fundamental subjects of investigation given its high virulence and mortality that resulted from past pandemics. Although the earliest evidence of Y.

Stone Age Yersinia pestis genomes shed light on the early evolution, diversity, and ecology of plague

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022
Significance The bacterium Yersinia pestis has caused numerous historically documented outbreaks of plague and research using ancient DNA could demonstrate that it already affected human populations during the Neolithic.
