Plague Returned for Centuries After the Black Death, DNA Shows

The Triumph of Death (c. 1562) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, representative of the Black Death plague in Europe

The Black Death did not mark the end of plague in Europe. A new study of ancient DNA reveals that Yersinia pestis resurfaced in multiple waves for well over 350 years, colonizing new territories and, at times, evolving into new strains. The results change the way we look at the Second Plague Pandemic, framing it as a long and complex saga of reintroduction, reservoirs, climate stress, and migration rather than a singular traumatically repeating event.

A pandemic that kept coming back

An Archaeology Magazine report explains that scholars from the University of Tartu reconstructed 26 genomes of the plague from various archaeological sites in Estonia, Russia, England, Netherlands, and Switzerland. The researchers conducted their study on samples dating back to the years ranging from 1349 to 1710 and compared them with 64 previously published genomes to form a comprehensive body of data of 75 genomes from the 14th to 18th centuries.
