The First Case of <I>Yersinia pestis</I> subsp. <I>pestis</I> Isolation in the Territory of the Altai Mountain Natural Plague Focus. Communication 2. Probable Ways and Mechanisms of Plague Agent Main Subspesies Importation into the Territory of the Focus

Analysis of the epizootical situation in the North-West Mongolia and bordering regions of Russia has revealed the fact that plague agent of the main ssp., for the first time ever isolated in the Altai mountain natural plague focus in 2012, is imported from Serkh-Munkh-Khairkhan, which stands approxi...
