enzootic plague foci, algeria.	in algeria, pcr sequencing of pla, glpd and rpob genes found yersinia pestis in 18/237 (8%) rodents of five species, including apodemus sylvaticus, previously undescribed as pestiferous; and disclosed three new plague foci. multiple spacer typing confirmed a new orientalis variant. rodent survey should be reinforced in this country hosting reemerging plague.	2015	25834736
detection of a yersinia pestis gene homologue in rodent samples.	a homologue to a widely used genetic marker, pla, for yersinia pestis has been identified in tissue samples of two species of rat (rattus rattus and rattus norvegicus) and of mice (mus musculus and apodemus sylvaticus) using a microarray based platform to screen for zoonotic pathogens of interest. samples were from urban locations in the uk (liverpool) and canada (vancouver). the results indicate the presence of an unknown bacterium that shares a homologue for the pla gene of yersinia pestis, so ...	2016	27602258
