    AnnotationAlfani (1) provides important reflections on our recentwork, which argues against long-term wildlife-based plague reservoirs in historical Europe (2). Without natural reservoirs in Europe during the past 2,000 y, the plague bacterium
    (Yersinia pestis) must have repeatedly spilled over from local-term reservoirs (3) or was introduced repeatedly from outside Europe by rodents (e.g., rats) and their ectoparasites (e.g., fleas) by infected people or contaminated
    goods (Fig. 1). While recognized for the Third Pandemic in Europe (4), the hypothesis of several reintroductions of Y. pestis into Europe remains under debate for late-antique and medieval outbreaks. Two hypotheses of plague continuity
    in Europe have been proposed (5): local persistence in reservoirs and external reimportation.
