Ancient Pathogen Genomics in Africa – Current Evidence and Future Directions

2026-03-02

Abstract excerpt

Ancient pathogen genomics has redefined how infectious disease histories are reconstructed,revealing unexpected origins, transmission routes and lineage turnovers that are invisible frommodern genomes alone. Yet this perspective remains heavily biased toward Eurasia and theAmericas, leaving Africa, central to human evolution, biodiversity and zoonotic emergence,largely unexplored. In this review, we assess the cur...
