Evolution of <I>Yersinia pestis</I> as the Causative Agent of a Vector-Borne Disease Transmitted by Arthropods
G. A. Eroshenko,
L. M. Kukleva
Abstract:The review summarizes the data of modern domestic and foreign studies on the mechanisms of evolutionary adaptation of the plague pathogen to transmissive spread by arthropods. The data on the molecular basis of the rapid formation of a highly pathogenic bacterium due to the acquisition of new genetic information; structural and functional changes in the genome, causing the disruption of functionality of some genes that prevent survival in the vector are presented. The stage of the complex life cycle of the pat… Show more
