In a new study published Wednesday, researchers from North America and Europe determined that the Bubonic Plague influenced our immune system.
The study, published Wednesday in the British weekly journal Nature, focuses on how germs from the past may continue to play a role in immune systems.
Centuries ago, the Black Death devastated the people of northern Africa, Europe and the Middle East. The plague is considered one of the deadliest events in recorded human history, as it killed between 30% to 50% of the population in those regions at the time.
