Detection of a Yersinia pestisgene 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 interes...
