Yersinia Pestis: Less Virulence, More Lethality
A new study reveals that Yersinia pestis, the bacterium behind three major plagues, evolved to become less virulent over centuries, paradoxically increasing its overall lethality by prolonging transmission among dwindling rat populations and ultimately killing more people; this discovery has signifi...

Genetic Mutation Allowed Black Death to Persist for Centuries
A new study published in Science reveals that the deletion of the pla gene in Yersinia pestis, the bacterium responsible for the plague, reduced its virulence, allowing it to persist for centuries after the initial Black Death outbreak by modifying transmission dynamics within a decimated rodent pop...
