> One of the pathology newsfeeds I subscribe to had an artical on Y pestis,the organisms that causes plague. Researchers collected DNA from 4 black death victims buried in a London cemetery in 1348. The y pestis collected was completed sequenced. The research purpose was to find out why the symptoms are different in today's victims. Turns out the organism hasn't changed much. The difference was more living conditions, weather,  war and other environmental issues. This paper might be an interesting source for historically accurate information on London living.
