In the "Diagnosis" portion of the article, copied below, "effect" should be "affect". The former is a noun and the latter is a verb in standard English grammar. The authors intend a verb, I believe. I have capitalized the word below and put it between asterisks for identification.

Diagnosis

Gram-negative Yersinia pestis bacteria. The culture was grown over a 72-hour time period. Laboratory testing is required in order to diagnose and confirm plague. Ideally, confirmation is through the identification of Y. pestis culture from a patient sample. Confirmation of infection can be done by examining serum taken during the early and late stages of infection. To quickly screen for the Y. pestis antigen in patients, rapid dipstick tests have been developed for field use.[22] Samples taken for testing include:[23] Buboes: Swollen lymph nodes (buboes) characteristic of bubonic plague, a fluid sample can be taken from them with a needle. Blood: blood cultures test blood samples for bacteria to find source of infection[24] Lungs: Spirometry test are used to screen the lungs for diseases that **EFFECT** the airways. Chest X-rays of the lungs are also used as an effective method of diagnosis.[25] Prevention 2601:140:827E:41EA:1D67:F003:4F42:43B6 (talk) 15:42, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

PLEASE CHANGE "EFFECT" TO "AFFECT".
