Paleoepidemiology of Diphyllobothriosis: Cultural and Environmental Factors Affecting Adenocephalus Intensity and Prevalence

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.

The paleopathology and paleoepidemiology of Upper paleolithic tuberculosis: Review of evidence and hypotheses

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.

The State and Future of Paleoepidemiology

2003
Abstract The study of prehistoric pathogens and the evolution of general health (Cohen 1989) calls attention to a long-term pattern of interaction between human behavior and pathogens which demonstrates the profound importance of human social and ecological change on disease organisms.

Part one: Paleoepidemiology of degenerative knee disease

Medical Anthropology: Cross Cultural Studies in Health and Illness, 1977
Abstract 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.

Paleoepidemiology of cribra orbitalia: Insights from early seventh millennium BP Con Co Ngua, Vietnam

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, 2023
Abstract Objectives We 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.

Paradox and promise: Research on the role of recent advances in paleodemography and paleoepidemiology to the study of “health” in Precolumbian societies

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2014
ABSTRACTBioarcheology has made tremendous strides since the subdiscipline's inception, subsequent syntheses, the standardization of data collection methods, and analytical advances ranging from molecular analyses through age‐estimation and biodistance.

Osteoma of the zygomatic bone from 16th century Sardinia (Italy) in the framework of a paleoepidemiological study

International Journal of Paleopathology, 2022
The aim of this paper is to evaluate a case of osteoma of the zygomatic bone in a post-medieval individual in the context of a paleoepidemiological approach.Forty-five skulls from the plague cemetery of Alghero (Sardinia, Italy), dating back to the end of the 16th century, were evaluated for the presence of osteomata on the outer surface of the cranial
