目的:评估Dicrocoeliumsp的存在。来自西班牙Cantabrian晚期古董丧葬的儿童,并讨论感染是真正的感染还是假性寄生虫病。
方法:四个骨架,包括一个5-7岁的孩子,从ElConventon的考古现场进行了分析,日期在公元六世纪和七世纪之间。
方法:通过使用补液分析来自骨骼和丧葬环境不同部位的土壤样品,进行了古生物学研究,均质化,和微筛分法,并通过明场显微镜观察。
结果:来自骨盆地区的土壤样品对Dicrocoeliumsp。(可能是D.树枝状)。
结论:该儿童感染了树枝状大肠杆菌,基于考古和历史背景,这可能与卫生或饮食行为有关。
结论:我们提出了少数鉴定与人类骨骼直接相关的双翅目寄生虫的病例之一,该病例提供了人畜共患疾病的历史知识。
结论:通过鉴定古代寄生虫来诊断人畜共患病是复杂的。此外,Dicrocoeliumsp.由于这种寄生虫的潜在低患病率,与骨骼有关的人类遗骸很少见。
■强调古寄生虫学分析的重要性,通过使用骨骼遗骸来将寄生虫感染疾病与社会经济问题联系起来。
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the presence of Dicrocoelium sp. in a child from a Late Antique funerary context from Cantabrian Spain and discuss whether the infection is true infection or pseudoparasitosis.
METHODS: Four skeletons, including one from a 5-7 year old child, have been analysed from the archaeological site of El Conventón, dated between the sixth and seventh centuries AD.
METHODS: The paleoparasitological study was conducted through the analysis of soil samples from different parts of the skeleton and funerary context using the rehydration, homogenization, and micro-sieving method, and visualized through brightfield microscopy.
RESULTS: A soil sample from the pelvic region tested positive for Dicrocoelium sp. (possibly D. dendriticum).
CONCLUSIONS: The child was infected with Dicrocoelium dendriticum, which based on archaeological and historical contexts may be related to hygiene or dietary behaviour.
CONCLUSIONS: We present one of the few cases of the identification of a Dicrocoelidae parasite directly associated with a human skeleton that provides historical knowledge of a zoonotic disease.
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of a zoonosis through the identification of ancient parasites is complex. In addition, Dicrocoelium sp. in association with skeletal human remains is rare due to the potential low prevalence of this parasite.
UNASSIGNED: Highlight the importance of paleoparasitological analysis to link parasitic infection diseases with socioeconomic issues by using funerary contexts with skeletal remains.
