Abstract
▼ AbStrAct At the Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES, University of Oslo), a group of biologists has been working for decades to disentangle the complex mechanisms of plague epizootics and epidemics in places where extant wild rodent reservoirs are present. These questions have been approached through ecological and climatic studies, mathematic modeling, as well as genomics and epidemiology. In 2013–2018, the Centre hosted the ERC-project MedPlag, which explored past pandemics through the lenses of additional disciplines, like archaeogenomics (ancient DNA), anthropology, archaeology, and evolution, always against the background of historical information. Here, we reflect on the end of plague in Europe based on the most recent studies on plague carried out in these different disciplines.
期刊介绍：
Centaurus publishes an international spectrum of original research papers, historiographical articles, and other academic content on the history of science in the broadest sense, including mathematics, medicine, biomedical sciences, earth sciences, social sciences, humanities and technology, and their social and cultural aspects. We also invite contributions that build a bridge between history of science and other disciplines. Book notices, book reviews and essay reviews of publications within the journal''s scope are commissioned to experts. The Editor encourages suggestions for special issues, short papers on topics of current interest and articles suited to open peer commentary along with a list of potential commentators.
