A study of the parish records of St Peter upon Cornhill in London from 1580 to 1605 revealed that children suffered a greater increase in mortality than adults in the plague years of 1593 and 1603, and servants accounted for the majority of deaths within the 15–24 age group. Some family groups avoided the plague altogether, others suffered a single burial, however in some cases, individuals within the same family household were buried within a short period of each other. The epidemiological pattern is complex and is moderated by social and demographic networks. Comparisons are made with modern epidemics caused by Yersinia pestis.

瘟疫——儿童和仆人的疾病？对 1580 年至 1605 年伦敦康希尔河畔圣彼得教区记录的研究

一项对 1580 年至 1605 年伦敦康希尔河畔圣彼得教区记录的研究表明，在 1593 年和 1603 年的瘟疫年份中，儿童的死亡率比成年人增加的幅度更大，而在 15 至 24年龄阶层。一些家庭群体完全避免了瘟疫，另一些则遭受了一次葬礼，但在某些情况下，同一家庭内的个人在短时间内彼此下葬。流行病学模式很复杂，受社会和人口网络的影响。与鼠疫耶尔森菌引起的现代流行病进行了比较。
