Human ectoparasite transmission of the plague during the Second Pandemic is only weakly supported by proposed mathematical models [Biological Sciences]

Dean et al. (1) infer that human ectoparasites were the dominant mode of transmission of plague (Yersinia pestis) during the Second Pandemic by comparing models representing distinct transmission routes. The authors are to be commended for providing detailed information on their computational approach (2). However, due to inconsistent modeling choices...
