Ella, 28, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis – a rare genetic disease which causes a build-up of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs, digestive tract, and sinuses – at 18 months old. Then, in 2018, Ella developed an infection that would not respond to treatment and was told her lung transplant was her only option. I was really sick.

Previous genetic studies identified the pathogen that causes plague, including the Black Death of 1348, which killed more than one-third of Europe’s population, and the Great Plague of 1665. Growth rates for both epidemics are more consistent with bubonic plague, which is transmitted by bites of infected fleas, the researchers said.
