Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the transmission of a disease from wild rodents to common rodents and humans, resulting in three notable pandemics.
- It describes a decrease in a specific virulence gene in later strains of these pandemics and the challenges in examining its biological significance.
- Findings suggest that this gene depletion may have reduced mouse mortality in bubonic plague models, possibly offering an evolutionary advantage amid rodent population declines after pandemics.
We report the complete genome sequences of two valuable strains to investigate plague pathogenesis: (i) strain 6/69, which was isolated from a bubonic plague patient in Madagascar and contains pCD1, pMT1, and pPCP1 virulence plasmids, and (ii) the 6/69 strain cured of pPCP1.
