Tooth reveals root of Plague

FROM ADAM SAGE IN PARIS

THE bacterium responsible for the Black Death, which killed up to 30

million people in Europe in the 14th century, has been identified by a team

of French scientists.

The Yersinia pestis bacterium was discovered in the tooth of a victim lying

in a mass grave in the town of Montpellier, southern France, where 90 per

cent of the population died at the height of La Peste Noire between 1347

and 1351.

“There has been a long debate in the scientific community over the past

two decades about what really was the Black Death,” said Didier Raoult,

professor of medicine at the Mediterranean University in Marseilles, who

led the researchers. “Some scientists said it could be haemorrhagic fever,

others that it could be a form of ebola.”

After trying and failing to carry out DNA tests on 600-year-old bones, M

Raoult decided to use teeth. The so-called pulp tissue inside the teeth of

septicaemia victims had been infected with the bacteria. “And once the

bacteria is in there, there is no way it can get out again and no way it can

be contaminated from another source, since the tooth is closed.”

His DNA test on the Montpellier corpse settled the academic argument

about the cause of the Black Death. M Raoult found Yersinia pestis, the

bacterium identified in 1894 by a French doctor, Alexandre Yersin, as

responsible for the plague.

It was brought back in the 13th century from the Crusades by fleas on rats.

It then spread to become an epidemic by the middle of the 14th century.

The researchers say it is similiar although not identical to the modern form

of the plague, which still affects 40,000 people across the world every year.

“Until the 19th century, all sorts of different diseases were described as the

plague,” M Raoult said. “But this really was the plague. The doctors in the

14th century were right.”
