For the first time substantiated was the role of the phenomenon of Yersinia pestis biofilm--extracellular matrix envelope (EME)--formation as the basis that determines the nature of plague agent interaction with flea organism. Implication of vector's proventriculus in the process of biofilm formation was demonstrated. Ultrastucture of plague microbe conglomerates in flea proventriculus and midgut was analysed and uniform mechanism of their formation was elucidated. The role of Yersinia pestis biofilm in plague agent preservation in the gut of ectoparasites and soil of rodents burrows was discussed. PCR analysis confirmed the presence of plague microbe in plague infected corpses and fleas excrements stored at +8-10 degreesC for 7 years 9 months.
