Scientists have now confirmed that Yersinia pestis which is known to cause cases of the plague today was also responsible for the brutally damaging bubonic plague which almost wiped out Europe.

经科学家证实，曾经引起瘟疫的耶尔森使鼠疫杆菌也是导致横扫欧洲的黑死病的重要原因。

Previously, tests which showed presence of the bacteria in medieval samples had been ignored because it was assumed they were contaminated and because the modern day bug spreads much more slowly and is far less deadly.

早些的时候，测试已经证明在中世纪的样品中存在着细菌被忽视的情况,意识因为细菌被认为受到了污染,二是因为虫子传播的更为缓慢,也并不会致命。

Now researchers at the University of Tübingen's Institute of Scientific Archaeology and McMaster University in Canada it was responsible for deaths.

在杜宾根大学的考古学院和加拿大麦克马司特大学的研究人员都认为细菌应该是导致死亡的最主要的原因。

The results of the research have now been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

据悉，研究的结果已经刊登在《美国国家科学院院刊》上。

Report author Johannes Krause says that ‘without a doubt’ the plague pathogen known as versinia pestis was also the cause of the Middle Ages’ plague.

研究报告的撰写者约翰·克劳斯说,“毫无疑问的，瘟疫病原体，可以被称作耶尔森使鼠疫杆菌，也是引起中世纪的瘟疫的原因。
