Investigations discovered the very old plague DNA in teeth
It is discovered by a team of international scientists that the world’s two devastating plagues which re the Black Death and Justinian are held responsible for taking the lives of many people in Europe. This later spread to the world in the late 1800s as it was suggested that a new plague has a chance to come back in future and affect the human kind.
According to the question asked by Hendrik Poinar, an associate professor and director of the McMaster Ancient DNA Centre and an investigator in DeGroote Institute for infectious Disease Research, “The research is both fascinating and perplexing, it generates new questions which need to be explored, for example why did this pandemic, which killed somewhere between 50 and 100 million people die out?
It is hoped by the scientists that it may lead to a good understanding about the modern infectious ailments which has plague in it that has still the capability to kill thousands of people in between 30 and 50 millions in a year.
