Risk patterns vary with culturally rooted eating habits, calling for targeted prevention and food safety awareness.

LilMikeSF#Drumpf era #CDC has stopped monitoring for several factors it once tracked for foodborne illness outbreaks. As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is ordered to only monitori for two pathogens instead of the previous eight.
Currently only two #pathogens: #salmonella and #Shiga toxin-producing E. coli are being tracked federally, now ignored are #campylobacter, #cyclospora, #listeria, #shigella, #vibrio and #Yersinia.

Neolithic bones reveal isolated Yersinia pestis infections, not pandemics
Since the catastrophic pandemics of the Middle Ages, one disease has almost proverbially symbolized contagion and death: the plague. It is now known that the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis has been present in Central and Northern Europe for more than 5,000 years. However, it is still uncertain whether it also led to pandemics and mass deaths in its early forms.

Yersinia pestis can infect the Pawlowsky glands of human body lice and be transmitted by louse bite
Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, uses fleas and rodents as vectors for transmission. This study reports a new vector for Y. pestis, showing that it can infect the Pawlowsky glands of human body lice and be transmitted by louse bite.

Genetic study offers little evidence of Black Death having selective impact on genetic variation in England
A team of archaeologists, geneticists and pathologists affiliated with a host of institutions across Europe, working with one colleague from the U.K. and another from the U.S., has found little evidence of the Black Death causing genetic variants to arise in affected populations.
