Humans are hosts to nearly 300 species of parasitic worms and over 70 species of protozoa,
some derived from our primate ancestors and some acquired from the animals we have …

Almost all known human specific parasites have been found in ancient feces. A review of the
paleoparasitological helminth and intestinal protozoa findings available in the literature is …

Parasitological studies of archaeological sites can be used to interpret past behavior and
living conditions. During the 1980s problem-oriented research into prehistoric-and historical …

The study of prehistoric parasitism through analysis of coprolites, mummies, skeletons, and
latrine soils is rapidly growing. Its development in North America is interdisciplinary and is …

Standard techniques for the analysis of prehistoric soils have not been devised. It is unlikely
that any single technique is applicable to all types of fecal remains. This is due to various …

Host-specific parasites of humans are used to track ancient migrations. Based on
archaeoparasitology, it is clear that humans entered the New World at least twice in ancient …

In the field of archaeological parasitology, researchers have long documented the
distribution of parasites in archaeological time and space through the analysis of coprolites …

Paleoparasitology may be developed as a new tool to parasite evolution studies. DNA
sequences dated thousand years ago, recovered from archaeological material, means the …

Paleoparasitological studies using microscopy showed that Ascarisand Trichuris trichiura
are the human intestinal parasites most found in archaeological sites. However, in pre …

The objective of this experiment was to assess the utility of a commercially available enzyme-
linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit for diagnosis of giardiasis in archaeological human …
