The supplied evidence does not establish clinical effectiveness, safety outcomes, population protection, or a current public-health threat.

They also broaden the documented geographic and social contexts in which early plague outbreaks occurred.

The supplied evidence does not establish treatment outcomes or the extent of this mechanism in current populations.

It may be useful for literature review and outbreak investigation context, but the abstract does not support claims beyond descriptive molecular epidemiology.

The abstract explicitly frames the current system as a potential model for rabies elimination elsewhere. Rabies Plague Vaccination Climate and environment Journal article
