The Black Death during the mid-1300s was so rapidly spreading and brutal, that only 1% of those infected survived. ]]> 2023-04-21 21:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563667889 rcpanes04 https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563670022 Yersinia Pestis can infect both humans and animals. Most of the time, the Plague is acquired through the bite of a flea that is infected with Yersinia Pestis, but it can also be acquired from an animal, dead or alive, that is infected with the Plague. ]]> 2023-04-21 21:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563670022 rcpanes04 https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563672683 Y. Pestis is on obligatory pathogen. It needs a host cell to be able to reproduce. The bacteria begins in the cells of rodents and is then spread to fleas, who then spread the infection to humans. ]]> 2023-04-21 21:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563672683 rcpanes04 https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563677030 The Plague, nowadays, can be treated with intravenous antibiotics. The Plague can be treated and cured, but only if caught early. Yersinia Pestis spreads rapidly and can cause sepsis, or even death if not treated as soon as possible. ]]> 2023-04-21 22:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563677030 rcpanes04 https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563679200 The Plague vaccine is licensed for use in the United States. This vaccine is prepared from Yersinia Pestis. Although the vaccine is faulty in some areas, it can most certainly decrease the chances of acquiring the Plague. ]]> 2023-04-21 22:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563679200 rcpanes04 https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563681460 Since Yersinia Pestis is mostly transferred through rodents and fleas, staying away from these animals is the best way to prevent infection. Homes and buildings should be made rodent-proof, and any brush or feed should be removed. ]]> 2023-04-21 22:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563681460 rcpanes04 https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563684638 Yersinia Pestis survives in the body by entering into macrophages. When outside the body, Y. Pestis can survive in contaminated soil for at least 24 days. After arming itself in the macrophage, it can survive outside of the cell.]]> 2023-04-21 22:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563684638 rcpanes04 https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563685180 2023-04-21 22:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpanes04/wqr9f2fhl4wrv680/wish/2563685180
