Abstract: Plague is a virulent infectious disease caused by Yersinia pestis. There have been three plague pandemics in the world history, of which the third plague pandemic started in Yunnan, China in 1772, and became a global pandemic in 1894, affecting many countries in Asia, Europe, America, Oceania and Africa. It has been reported that the third plague pandemic was caused by the branch of Yersinia pestis 1.ORI. This paper summarizes the origin, transmission route, distribution area and ecological environment of 1.ORI clade and the relationship with the third plague pandemic, which has guiding significance for further understanding and studying the epidemiological pattern of plague, formulating appropriate surveillance programmes and prevention and control measures.
