Csaba Kasza Pestis - in another connection In this work I concisely summed up the three pestis pandemias in the world history, highlighting the long term influences on the society and the consequences in few fields of life of those. I outlined a special area as well - the connection between the pestis and the shipping - that is almost totally unknown to the hungarian readers. But this paper is basically not about the history of the pestis, rather it is about the present of the pestis. From this point of view I’ve focused not on the disease itself but the genetic analysis of Yersinia bacterium, the fleas, the host animals, and other elements which are essential for the developing of the disease. Wherefore I’ve used the newest result of genomic analysis of M. Wagner-H. Poinar (2014) and J. Krause-H. Poinar (2011). I’ve also used research work of B. Schmid - N. Stenseth on the „pestis-rodent- climate” relation. I’ve referred to the famous biologist and „flea-expert” Dame Miriam Rotschild, and her researches as well. I adverted briefly to the progressive consequences of the pestis in the society touching the relics, written records, monuments of it, including two small chapels which were erected in our county, in Szolnok and Jászapáti. Finally I drew attention to the danger of new possibile epidemic due to appearing of a new Yersinia pestis bacterium and the worsen circimstances of life, in a rapidly changing world.
