Plague Section
The goal of our research is to understand the genetic and molecular processes underlying flea-borne bubonic plague transmission, infection, and immunity. Our research group uses biologically relevant vector and host model systems for in vivo investigations of the entire life cycle of Yersinia pestis, the bacterial agent of plague.
