American Journal of Biological Anthropology, 2023 AbstractObjectivesWe test the hypothesis that the condition(s) leading to the development of cribra orbitalia at Con Co Ngua, an early seventh millennium sedentary foraging community in Vietnam, effectively reduced the resilience of the population to subsequent health/disease impacts.

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, 2023 Abstract Objectives This study explores the paleoepidemiology of the Black Death (1348–52 AD) mass graves from Hereford, England, via osteological analysis. Hereford plague mortality is evaluated in the local context of the medieval city and examined alongside other Black Death burials.

Tuberculosis, 2023
Molecular phylogeny work has shown that tuberculosis is ancient human-adapted infection predating the Neolithic period. They also show that the Upper Paleolithic is a key period of emergence of the MTB complex strains, contemporary with the exit of modern man from Africa.

PALEOEPIDEMIOLOGY OF INTESTINAL PARASITES AND LICE IN PRE-COLUMBIAN SOUTH AMERICA [PDF]
Chungara, 2011 Some human parasites originated in prehominid ancestors in Africa. Nematode species, such as Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm), hookworms and Trichuris trichiura are shared by humans and other close phylogenetic primates (Pan and Gorilla), showing that they infected a common ancestor to this group.

Head Louse Paleoepidemiology in the Osmore River Valley, Southern Peru
Journal of Parasitology, 2023Recent studies of louse ectoparasites from mummies have developed robust data sets that allow a true epidemiological approach to the prehistory of louse parasitism. One epidemiological principle is that the binomial of overdispersion is normally negative, meaning that in a host population, parasites are aggregated in a few individuals.

Journal of Parasitology, 2023
Peruvian and Chilean mummies and coprolites provide a source of population-based parasitological information. This is especially true of the fish tapeworm, Adenocephalus pacificus. Our analysis of Chinchorro and Chiribaya mummies and diversified coprolite samples from Chile and Peru show variation in infection.

Part one: Paleoepidemiology of degenerative knee disease
Medical Anthropology: Cross Cultural Studies in Health and Illness, 1977Abstract Degenerative knee disease is investigated in osteological samples from three human skeletal populations. The distribution of incidence shows Eskimos are the most frequently and severely affected group, and multivariate analysis further indicates localized age‐independent patterns of degenerative involvement within the knee.
