🧍 The conference of experts of the Anti-Plague Establishments of the Soviet Union (Saratov, 1985) recommended classifying all of the variants of the plague pathogen that were isolated from the territory of the Former Soviet Union and Mongolia into the subspecies "Yersinia pestis subsp. pestis", "Yersinia pestis subsp. altaica", "Yersinia pestis subsp. caucasica", "Yersinia pestis subsp. hissarica", "Yersinia pestis subsp. ulegeica. In 1998, Sludskii proposed one more subspecies, "Yersinia pestis subsp. talassica".Publication:
