Paleoparasitology of Schistosomiasis [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997 Eighteen years ago, when we began our studies in paleoparasitology, the main question proposed was whether Schistosoma mansoni infection has been really introduced by African slave trade in South America or has it been present among indians before Columbus. Up to now the question remains without answer, but it is interesting to point to some old
