The history of infectious diseases in general and the plague in particular is a history of horror and human helplessness. The plague, the “Black Death,” claimed victims in the millions, probably including Roman Emperor Marc Aurel (121–180 AD), Pope Pelagius II (†590) and Italian painter Titian (c. 1488/90–1576) died because of the plague. In 1944, the bacterium that caused all the nightmare was renamed as Yersinia pestis to honor its discoverer.

摘要

The history of infectious diseases in general and the plague in particular is a history of horror and human helplessness. The plague, the “Black Death,” claimed victims in the millions, probably including Roman Emperor Marc Aurel (121–180 AD), Pope Pelagius II (†590) and Italian painter Titian (c. 1488/90–1576) died because of the plague. In 1944, the bacterium that caused all the nightmare was renamed as Yersinia pestis to honor its discoverer.
