Modeling the epidemiological history of plague in Central Asia: palaeoclimatic forcing on a disease system over the past millennium
Background Human cases of plague (Yersinia pestis) infection originate, ultimately, in the
bacterium's wildlife host populations. The epidemiological dynamics of the wildlife reservoir …

Pre-industrial plague transmission is mediated by the synergistic effect of temperature and aridity index
Background Although the linkage between climate change and plague transmission has
been proposed in previous studies, the dominant approach has been to address the linkage …

Historical and genomic data reveal the influencing factors on global transmission velocity of plague during the Third Pandemic
Quantitative knowledge about which natural and anthropogenic factors influence the global
spread of plague remains sparse. We estimated the worldwide spreading velocity of plague …

The influence of temperature on the seasonality of historical plague outbreaks
Modern plague outbreaks exhibit a distinct seasonal pattern. By contrast, the seasonality of
historical outbreaks and its drivers has not been studied systematically. Here, we investigate …

Transmission Shifts Underlie Variability in Population Responses to Yersinia pestis Infection
Host populations for the plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis, are highly variable in their
response to plague ranging from near deterministic extinction (ie, epizootic dynamics) to a …
