[MR] looking for plague research

[Jennifer Dobyns]

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
