Human major infections: tuberculosis, treponematoses, leprosy – a paleopathological perspective of their evolution

2020-11-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> The key to evolution is reproduction. Pathogens can either kill the human host or can invade the host without causing death, thus ensuring their own survival, reproduction and spread. Tuberculosis, treponematoses and leprosy are widespread chronic infectious diseases whereby the host is not immediately killed. These diseases are examples of the co-evolution of host and pathogen.
