| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on paleoparasitology, the study of ancient parasite infections and health conditions through the analysis of mummified remains, coprolites, and archaeological samples. It explores the presence of intestinal parasites, ancient DNA analysis, medical imaging techniques, and their implications for understanding human evolution and pathoecology. The research sheds light on the prevalence of parasite infections in ancient populations and their impact on human health throughout history. |
