Vaccine, 2009
Killed whole cell vaccines for plague were first produced as long ago as the late 1890s and modified versions of these are still used, with evidence that they are efficacious against bubonic plague. Renewed efforts with modern technology have yielded new candidate vaccines which are less reactogenic, can be produced in a conventional pharmaceutical ...

In the United States, plague poses a threat to humans from the infected animals in the endemic areas of the Western states. Plague may also be used in the near future as an agent of warfare or terrorism. Although the presentation of bubonic plague may be less of a problem, the septicemic and pneumonic forms present challenges to early diagnosis and ...

The Lancet, 2007
Bubonic plague is an often fulminant systemic zoonosis, caused by Yersinia pestis. Conventional microbiology, bacterial population genetics, and genome sequence data, all suggest that Y pestis is a recently evolved clone of the enteric pathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

A Plague of Plagues: The Problem of Plague Diagnosis in Medieval England
The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, 2007Recent works by historians and biologists have called into doubt whether the great epidemic of 1348/49 in England was the plague. Examination of the biological evidence, however, shows their arguments to be faulty. The great epidemic of 1348/49 may have included other diseases, but it was clearly yersinia pestis.

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1991
Human plague is a local or systemic flea-transmitted infection caused by Yersinia pestis. It is maintained in well established enzootic foci among wild rodents. This article discusses the clinical findings in plague, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of plague, and management of contacts of human plague cases and of exposures to epizootic plague ...

A 19-year-old man, recently returned from a 10-day military exercise in central California, had acute onset of shaking chills, headache, and bilateral inguinal adenopathy after having been bitten by insects on his lower extremities. He had exquisitely tender inguinal and femoral nodes bilaterally.

Plague and plague prevention in the U.S.
1925The term 'plague' has been very confusing to the laity as a whole because the term has been applied to almost every epidemic of any serious consequence, specifically, plague is an infection primary in rats and other rodents, secondary in man, caused by Bacillus Pestis.

Scientific American, 1988
In A.D. 1346 some 100 million people inhabited Europe, northern Africa and the Near East. Five years later 25 million were dead--victims of the Black Death. The plague kept reappearing, but the epidemics did not spread as widely: apparently a new and milder strain of Yersinia pestis evolved that made at least some people immune to the virulent strain.
