Here are the French and English versions of the abstract for my latest essay on plague in the medieval/early modern world. The full text is available open access at this link: https://journals.openedition.org/afriques/2084. This essay builds on my earlier work in 2014 (Green, “Taking ‘Pandemic’ Seriously: Making the Black Death Global,” in Pandemic Disease in the Medieval World: Rethinking the Black Death, inaugural issue of The Medieval Globe 1, no. 1-2 (Fall 2014), 27-61) by revisiting the question of why the living strain of *Yersinia pestis* that is the most closely related to the extinct Black Death strain that struck the Middle East and Europe in the 14th century is now to be found in East Africa. Here, I go more deeply into the genetics literature, and into the historical and scientific literature on plague in East Africa, to confirm that yes, the strain found uniquely today in East Africa, 1.ANT, is indeed of late medieval origin, and that, yes, there is evidence--historical and linguistic--that plague (a disease of Eurasian origin) may have arrived in East Africa much earlier than has previously been posited. The essay constitutes the most comprehensive survey currently available on the question of plague's history in East Africa. Included, too, is a brief section summarizing the question of plague's presence in East Africa in Antiquity and its possible role in the Justinianic Plague. ERRATUM: In paragraph 46, I refer twice to Robert Koch being in Zimbabwe when he examined the plague samples procured for him by an assistant. The correct referent is Tanzania; he was in the city of Dar es Salaam.
