Abstract in brief

  • The Third Plague Pandemic started in China at the end of the 19th century and spread worldwide, including Europe, where plague outbreaks continued from 1899 until the 1940s, despite Europe's long history with the disease.
  • Historical records and modern data help trace how plague was introduced to Europe, often linked to rats and their fleas, which played a key role in transmitting the bacteria.
  • Efforts like improving sanitation and hygiene internationally helped control and eventually eradicate plague in Europe, reducing its impact over time.]

@colinmcenroe @AlistairHaimes Plague (Yersinia pests) is primarily transmitted by rodent fleas, with human to human being unusual. The third pandemic (1879-1950), which killed millions in Asia caused few deaths in Europe probably people were less in contact with wild animals.

Historical lesson : The Third Plague Pandemic in Europe stopped with the introduction of insecticide and improved personal and environmental hygiene, explains Barbara Bramanti from @CEESUiO. International cooperation and solidarity is also needed https://t.co/STqLqlNm91 @UniOslo https://t.co/kbTRI2i1ED
