Palaeoenvironmental DNA (PalEnDNA) is defined as ancient DNA (aDNA) originating from
disseminated genetic material within palaeoenvironmental samples. Sources of PalEnDNA …

Fossilized soft tissues of animals (eg muscles, hair and feathers) are valuable sources of

We perform the first multidisciplinary study of parasites from an extinct megafaunal clade
using coprolites from the New Zealand moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes). Ancient DNA and …

Eggs of some intestinal parasites survive acetolysis and can therefore be found in pollen
slides. Especially pollen samples from medieval cesspits can yield large amounts of eggs of …

Following the discovery in the late 1980s that hard tissues such as bones and teeth preserve
genetic information, the field of ancient DNA analysis has typically concentrated upon these …

Enterobius vermicularis, pinworm, is one of the most common helminths worldwide, infecting
nearly a billion people at all socio-economic levels. In prehistoric populations the …

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

Parasites have been infecting humans throughout our evolution. When complex societies
developed, the greater population density provided new opportunities for parasites to …

Featuring contributions from specialists in related research areas, this book presents expert
