Abstract

The Internet provides rich resources for different kinds of pathogens, including Yersinia pestis. We collected different resources on various topics, including plague history, outbreak information, genome databases, and genotyping databases, and provide their website links for reference. Sharing knowledge through the Internet has become critical for knowledge dissemination and advancement of science.
