Reply to Alfani: Reconstructing past plague ecology to understand human history.
Original language description
Alfani (1) provides important reflections on our recentwork, which argues against long-term wildlife-based plague reservoirs in historical Europe (2). Without natural reservoirs in Europe during the past 2,000 y, the plague bacteriumn(Yersinia pestis) must have repeatedly spilled over from local-term reservoirs (3) or was introduced repeatedly from outside Europe by rodents (e.g., rats) and their ectoparasites (e.g., fleas) by infected people or contaminatedngoods (Fig. 1). While recognized for the Third Pandemic in Europe (4), the hypothesis of several reintroductions of Y. pestis into Europe remains under debate for late-antique and medieval outbreaks. Two hypotheses of plague continuitynin Europe have been proposed (5): local persistence in reservoirs and external reimportation.
