What Disease Was Plague? On The Controversy Over The Microbiological Identity Of Plague Epidemics Of The Past by Ole J. Benedictow
A Historical and Scientific Inquiry into the Nature of Plague
This book delves into the historical and scientific debate surrounding the true nature of the plague epidemics that ravaged Europe and other parts of the world in the past. It critically examines the traditional identification of these outbreaks as bubonic plague caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, exploring alternative theories and evidence that suggest other pathogens might have been responsible. Through a comprehensive analysis of historical records, epidemiological data, and modern scientific insights, the book seeks to unravel the complexities and controversies that have long surrounded the microbiological identity of these devastating pandemics.
