Conclusions:
-One droplet from a colony of plague bacteria diluted in one hundred quarts of pure water is sufficient to induce infection,
-In the absence of medical care, the illness terminates in death in 93% of cases,
-When medical care is provided, the illness terminates in death in 89% of cases,
-Individuals who survive develop complete immunity to the disease and never succumb to it again.
There are two interesting directions in which further research can proceed.
-Firstly, increasing the time during which the bacteria colony remains active after dilution (currently less than 12 hours) would allow for its use as a weapon, one ideal for diversions or sabotage behind enemy lines.
-Second, the development of immunity in survivors suggests a vaccine may be possible.
Undertaking either of these would require an enormous dedication of time and means, neither of which, sad to say, I possess at the moment.
