More about the book
The book explores the resurgence of plague and the recognition of other yersiniae as significant pathogens in recent decades. It highlights the impact of the Vietnam conflict on plague's prevalence, with more Vietnamese casualties attributed to the disease than American combat losses. Additionally, it discusses the shift in scientific focus from Yersinia pestis to include Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, which have been linked to gastrointestinal issues in Europe. The work emphasizes the need to understand both plague and nonplague yersiniae together, despite their differing epidemiological patterns.
