Probing the zooarchaeological record across time and space for ancient pathogens

2025-02-13

Abstract excerpt

Zoonoses are among the greatest threats to human health, with many zoonotic pathogens believed to have emerged during prehistory. Palaeomicrobiological investigations of the zooarchaeological record hold potential to uncover the reservoirs, host ranges, and host adaptations of zoonotic pathogens but face challenges in identifying promising specimens and pathogen DNA preservation. We performed palaeopathological an...
