CCR5-delta 32 And Bubonic Plague

I mentioned a couple of years ago a very interesting documentary about the apparent connection between a particular genetic defect that seems to confer AIDS immunity and bubonic plague. I mentioned this in the hotel room last night, and Dave Hardy mentioned it. One of his readers pointed to this study that argues that the original work showing the connection between CCR5-delta 32 and bubonic plague has not survived more careful study.
