It was a crossroads for pilgrims heading along the Via Francigena to the Sanctuary of Monte Sant\u2019Angelo and for merchants passing through the harbor of Manfredonia. A recent excavation of Soprintendenza Archeologica della Puglia investigated a portion of the related cemetery, confirming its chronology to be between the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century. Two single graves preserved individuals accompanied by numerous coins dating back to the 14th century, hidden in clothes and in a bag tied to the waist. The human remains of the individuals were analyzed in the Laboratorio di Antropologia Fisica of Soprintendenza ABAP della citt\u00e0 metropolitana di Bari. Three teeth from each individual were collected and sent to the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale di Puglia e Basilicata to study infectious diseases such as malaria, plague, tuberculosis, epidemic typhus and Maltese fever (Brucellosis), potentially related to the lack of inspection of the bodies during burial procedures. DNA extracted from six collected teeth and two additional unrelated human teeth (negative controls) were analyzed using PCR to verify the presence of human DNA (\u03b2-globulin) and of pathogens such as Plasmodium spp., Yersinia pestis, Mycobacterium spp., Rickettsia spp. and Brucella spp. The nucleotide sequence of the amplicon was determined to confirm the results. Human DNA was successfully amplified from all eight dental extracts and two different genes of Y. pestis were amplified and sequenced in 4 out of the 6 teeth. Molecular analyses ascertained that the individuals buried in San Leonardo were victims of the Black Death (1347\u20131353) and the data confirmed the lack of inspection of the corpses despite the presence of numerous coins. This study represents molecular evidence, for the first time, of Southern Italy\u2019s involvement in the second wave of the plague pandemic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens10111354","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,20]],"date-time":"2021-10-20T21:31:26Z","timestamp":1634765486000},"page":"1354","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Genetic Evidence of the Black Death in the Abbey of San Leonardo (Apulia Region, Italy): Tracing the Cause of Death in Two Individuals Buried with Coins"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2627-0669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Donato Antonio","family":"Raele","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale della Puglia e della Basilicata, 71121 Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ginevra","family":"Panzarino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departament de Prehist\u00f2ria i Arqueologia, Universitat de Val\u00e9ncia, 46003 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Sarcinelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cultural Heritage, Universit\u00e0 del Salento, 73100 Lecce, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2565-7530","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Assunta","family":"Cafiero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale della Puglia e della Basilicata, 71121 Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Maria Tunzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Soprintendenza ABAP per la Citt\u00e0 Metropolitana di Bari, Laboratory of Physical Anthropology, 70121 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Dell\u00f9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Soprintendenza ABAP per la Citt\u00e0 Metropolitana di Bari, Laboratory of Physical Anthropology, 70121 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Camobreco, F.
