Just 24 of the outbreaks could have been associated
with rodent reservoirs, according to the authors; eight of those were traced back to the arrival of plague - carrying ships, and there was no link between the remaining 16 outbreaks and climate fluctuations in Europe.
With the emergence of Ebola virus from bats and hantaviruses from rodents, investigators say identifying the other species infected with HAV provides novel insight into the evolution of HAV and how it spread to humans, and highlights the utility of analyzing animal reservoirs for risk assessment of emerging viru

The new evidence suggests repeated climate - driven re-introductions of the bacterium Yersinia pestis via the Silk Road system into European harbors from wildlife
rodent reservoirs in Asian plague foci,
with a delay of 10 - 15 years after pluvial periods that affected large parts of central Asia.
