Bruce, how are you? :)
If you want the literature suggestions we talked about, tell me what you're interested in.

If my post was ambiguous, I apologize. I knew you were. That is why I added the smiley. I was just trying to add a little more humor (or is that humour?)

I can't believe that the 'bad rap' (note quote by Oregon epidemiologist

) you Euros put on this innocent little pathogen has lasted for so long...

I'm going to hazard a guess that the origin of the infection was a rat flea? Call it a hunch.

State health officials say a woman in Lake County has been diagnosed with bubonic plague.

It�s the first diagnosis in Oregon in 15 years. The disease terrorized Europe�s population more than 600 years ago, but the plague is treatable when caught early.

The plague is extremely rare these days. It�s a bacterial infection carried by rodents, and is transmitted to humans though fleas.

Dr. Emilio DeBess is the public health veterinarian and an epidemiologist with Oregon Department of Human Services.

He says the disease, once known as the Black Death got somewhat of a bad rap after killing off a third of Europe�s population in the 1300s.

But he says thanks to scientific advances, it�s no longer a death sentence.

Emilio DeBess: �It�s a very treatable condition with antibiotics and so that�s usually not a concern, back then they didn�t have antibiotics. We do have very good antibiotics that treat the infection.�

Health officials have not released the name of the Lake County woman who fell ill at the end of August.

DeBess says authorities are now trying to determine the source of the infection.

Those Brits know who to make some more visible.

Title of the Day: Assignment Israel by Manning Lee Stokes published in 1967 in both US and Britain.

Gunther Gerhardt, called the German T. E. Lawrence, and the third most sought-after Nazi war criminal after Adolf Eichmann and Martin Bormann, plots with the Red Chinese to destabilize the Middle East by raids into Israel disguised as Syrians, and vice versa. His plot is revealed by a defector who, although killed, leaves behind a bullet with a micro-engraved message. AXE teams up with Shin-Bet to track down Gerhardt. A beautiful Israeli agent is paired with Nick Carter, and the two negotiate with a Bedouin tribe to scout around. Gerhardt finds out about this from an informer, and bombs the encampment. Nick Carter rallies the survivors, and together they ambush the party sent to make sure everyone was dead. With the radio they recover, they call in jets and paratroopers to destroy the raiders. Gerhardt is killed, but not before he kills the Israeli agent.

There's quite a bit of unexplained discrepancies between the descriptions of the Black Death and our knowledge of bubonic plague. Enough that I quite doubt the Black Death was plague. All the arguments against them seem to boil down to 'the medievals were too stupid to describe what they were seeing correctly'.

If not plague, then what? The descriptions of symptoms seem quite consisent to me.

Got me. I'm no pathologist. But the rate of spread is way faster than bubonic plague. It's also possible it was a different form of the plague bacteria with different symptoms. We probably just don't know what it was in the end.

Europeans have for many years called us "Yanks" (and by that I mean other countries beside the UK). But If the abreviation bothers you, I'll certainly stop using it. I certainly never meant to give offense, and I'm most sorry if I did.
