An ancient ancient pathogen of the pathogenum of black death and other important pandemic has been identified in a bronze age in a Russian home sheep. It has become one of the oldest pathogens found in an animal.
His DNA is at the same time in line with bacterial plague found in European human skeletons, the first evidence that the disease could have extended well among human and their livestock before the pathogen escapes.
