Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes plague, is primarily found in rural and semi-rural areas, particularly in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. It is often associated with wild rodent populations, which serve as natural reservoirs for the bacteria. Plague outbreaks are most common in regions where environmental conditions favor the survival of both the bacteria and its rodent hosts. Urban areas can also experience outbreaks if infected rodents come into contact with humans.
The bubonic plague is a form of Yersinia pestis. Y. pestis is a bacterium that is facultative and anaerobic. Other forms of Y. pestis include the pneumonic and septicemic plagues.
No. Yersinia Pestis is a bacterium and so is a prokaryote. Prokaryotes do not have such organelles.
Yersinia pestis, AKA, Bubonic Plague
The bacteria Pasteurella pestis was renamed Yersinia pestis in 1944 by the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria. This change in nomenclature was due to advances in microbiology and taxonomy that reclassified the bacteria into the Yersinia genus.
