Scientists have finally uncovered direct genetic evidence of Yersinia pestis — the bacterium behind the Plague of Justinian — in a mass grave in Jerash, Jordan. This long-sought discovery resolves a centuries-old debate, confirming that the plague that devastated the Byzantine Empire truly was caused by the same pathogen behind later outbreaks like the Black Death.

Scientists have finally uncovered direct genetic evidence of Yersinia pestis — the bacterium behind the Plague of Justinian — in a mass grave in Jerash, Jordan. This long-sought discovery resolves a centuries-old debate, confirming that the plague that devastated the Byzantine Empire truly was caused by the same pathogen behind later outbreaks like the Black Death. For the first time, researchers have uncovered direct genomic evidence of the bac…
The Justinian plague, which appeared in 541 C.E., caused millions of deaths and contributed to the lasting weakening of the Byzantine Empire. Yet, until recently, no direct genetic evidence had been found in the areas at the heart of this pandemic, leaving doubt about the pathogen actually involved. An interdisciplinary team from the University of South Florida (USF) and Florida Atlantic University (FAU), in collaboration with Indian and Austral…
Scientists have deciphered the genome of the bacterium responsible for the world's first recorded pandemic, which swept the eastern Mediterranean about 1,500 years ago. Researchers have identified the… The culprit of the first pandemic in humanity has been discovered - ΙΝΑΦΤΕΜΟΠΟΡΙΚΙ
It is already known which pathogen caused the first pandemic 1,500 years ago – The Observatorial
For the first time, researchers have discovered direct genomic evidence of the bacteria Responsible for Justinian’s plague in the Eastern Mediterranean, where the outbreak was described for the first time almost 1,500 years ago. The discovery, led by an interdisciplinary team from the University of Southern Florida (USF) and the Atlantic University of Florida (FAU), […]
