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

Nature Communications, 2018
Yersinia pestis has caused infections (plague) in humans since the Early Bronze Age (5000 years ago). Here, Spyrou et al. reconstruct Y. pestis genomes from Late Bronze Age individuals, and find genomic evidence compatible with flea-mediated transmission

Evolutionary selection of biofilm-mediated extended phenotypes in Yersinia pestis in response to a fluctuating environment

Nature Communications, 2020
Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, can change its biofilm production to influence the dynamics of flea-borne transmission. Here, the authors sequence Y.

Small Insertions and Deletions Drive Genomic Plasticity during Adaptive Evolution of Yersinia pestis

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The life cycle of Yersinia pestis has changed a lot to adapt to flea-borne transmission since it evolved from an enteric pathogen, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.
