The article manages to misspell the scientific name of the organism each time they use it.

The organism is Yersinia pestis, abbreviated as Y. pestis.

The standards of journalism have really dropped.

” The standards of journalism have really dropped. “

Beyond spelling errors, the remaining paragraphs (there are only two) of the article seem to contradict the headline and lead paragraphs, without explanation or clarification...

Is it just bad reporting, or is there something seriously wrong, here??
