Comme aucune autre maladie, la peste incarne l’image de la mort. Maladie parmi les plus mortifères de l’histoire de l’humanité, fléau biblique, la « mort noire » s’est imposée dans la mémoire et l’imaginaire des peuples comme synonyme de malédiction, bouleversant le paysage économique, démographique, social et peut-être génétique des pays qu’elle a ...

Commentary on Seersholm Et al.: Yersinia pestis Infection Is Not Synonymous With Deadly Plague in Neolithic Scandinavia. [PDF]

open access: yesAm J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives Emerging genomic evidence has identified ancestral strains of Yersinia pestis in ancient human populations, which has sparked debates about its pathogenic role in later Neolithic societies. Here, we review published evidence linking anthropological and biological data reflecting the past natural history of Y.

THE METHYLOME OF YERSINIA PESTIS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
During the normal cycle of transfer between its vector (the flea) and a mammalian host, Yersinia pestis (Y. pestis) is exposed to significantly different environmental conditions. Studies have shown gene expression patterns in Y. pestis differ significantly under these separate conditions.

Plasmids in Yersinia pestis [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1981
Pesticinogenic and Ca2+-dependent strains of Yersinia pestis harbored plasmids of about 6 and 45 megadaltons, respectively. In addition, most isolates examined possessed a cryptic 65-megadalton plasmid.

Emergence and spread of ancestral Yersinia pestis in Late-Neolithic and Bronze-Age Eurasia, ca. 5,000 to 2,500 y B.P [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
First paragraph: Evolutionary history of any living organism is as fascinating as it is complex. The causative agent of plague, the bacterium Yersinia pestis, is no exception. Having diverged from the enteropathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, ancestral

Phylogeography and molecular epidemiology of Yersinia pestis in Madagascar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Plague was introduced to Madagascar in 1898 and continues to be a significant human health problem. It exists mainly in the central highlands, but in the 1990s was reintroduced to the port city of Mahajanga, where it caused extensive human ...

Yersinia type III secretion : send in the effectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Pathogenic Yersinia spp (Yersinia pestis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Yersinia enterocolitica) have evolved an exquisite method for delivering powerful effectors into cells of the host immune system where they inhibit signaling cascades and block ...
