[MR] medical research for the plague

[Michelle McDaniel]

Another good, localish resource (for the metro DC area) is the National
Library of Medicine in Bethesda. They are available on-line through
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed

You can go and photocopy articles yourself.

A quick search on both the terms "plague" and "Yersinia" show numerous
articles. You may be best served taking a gander at the MeSH headings (the
subject terms used by NLM) to make certain you get the most appropriate
subjects. 

Feel free to holler if you need extra help! I live in the Metro DC area and
used to have to go to NLM for work regularly.

Greetings unto the Tavern!

I know there are probably experts on this subject in the SCA and  
thought perhaps they might be able to provide some direction.  I am  
planning a presentation on the plague (yersenia pestis) and am  
looking for solid, academic resources on the bacteria, how it works  
on the cellular,even molecular level, how it is treated, etc.   
Wikipedia just won't do for this audience, I need medical journals  
and research papers, information with some sort of peer review.   
While I'll be digging around in local libraries (I'm in the Baltimore- 
Washington area) and online, any suggestions for serious references  
would be greatly appreciated.   And of course, after all this is  
pulled together and presented, I will be happy to share it with  
anyone interested in seeing the end product.

YIS,

Genevieve D'Aubigne
