Molecular phylogenies of the plague microbe <i>Yersinia pestis</i>: an environmental assessment
Two approaches are applied to studies of the phylogeny of the plague microbe <italic>Yersinia pestis</italic>, i.e., the reconstruction of its history: Molecular genetic (MG) and ecological (ECO). The MG approach dominates. Phylogenies created with MG and ECO methods are not congruent. M...

| الملخص: | Two approaches are applied to studies of the phylogeny of the plague microbe <italic>Yersinia pestis</italic>, i.e., the reconstruction of its history: Molecular genetic (MG) and ecological (ECO). The MG approach dominates. Phylogenies created with MG and ECO methods are not congruent. MG conclusions contradict the known facts and patterns of ecology, biogeography, paleontology, etc. We discuss some obvious contradictions and inconsistencies and suggest that real phylogenies of the plague microbe can be constructed only on the basis of the integration of MG and ECO approaches. |
