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

Yersinia pestis Interacts With SIGNR1 (CD209b) for Promoting Host Dissemination and Infection
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Yersinia pestis, a Gram-negative bacterium and the etiologic agent of plague, has evolved from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, a cause of a mild enteric disease. However, the molecular and biological mechanisms of how Y. pseudotuberculosis evolved to such a

Development of phage-based single chain Fv antibody reagents for detection of Yersinia pestis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Most Yersinia pestis strains are known to express a capsule-like antigen, fraction 1 (F1)(.) F1 is encoded by the caf1 gene located on the large 100-kb pFra plasmid, which is found in Y.
