Phylogeography of the second plague pandemic revealed through analysis of historical Yersinia pestis genomes

Nature Communications, 2019
The second plague pandemic, caused by Yersinia pestis, devastated Europe and the nearby regions between the 14th and 18th centuries AD. Here we analyse human remains from ten European archaeological sites spanning this period and reconstruct 34 ancient Y.
