摘要

目的评价西班牙坎塔布连地区一名晚期古丧葬儿童中双星绦虫的感染情况,探讨感染是真感染还是假寄生虫病。研究人员对四具骨骼进行了分析,其中一具是一名5-7岁的儿童,这些骨骼来自公元6 - 7世纪的El Conventón考古遗址。方法采用复水化、均质和微筛法对不同部位的土壤样本进行分析,并通过明视野显微镜观察,进行古寄生虫学研究。结果盆腔区土壤样品中检出双棘球蚴(可能为树突棘球蚴)阳性。结论该患儿感染树突双星蚴,根据考古和历史背景,可能与卫生或饮食行为有关。意义:我们提出了与人类骨骼直接相关的棘球绦虫科寄生虫鉴定的少数病例之一,提供了人畜共患疾病的历史知识。通过鉴定古代寄生虫来诊断人畜共患病是复杂的。此外,由于这种寄生虫的潜在低流行率,与骨骼遗骸相关的双星绦虫是罕见的。进一步研究的建议强调古寄生虫学分析的重要性,通过使用与骨骼遗骸的丧葬背景来将寄生虫感染疾病与社会经济问题联系起来。

Zoonotic parasite infection from a funerary context: A Late Antique child case from Cantabrian Spain

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.

Materials

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.

Significance

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.

Limitations

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.

Suggestions for Further Research

Highlight the importance of paleoparasitological analysis to link parasitic infection diseases with socioeconomic issues by using funerary contexts with skeletal remains.

期刊介绍: Paleopathology is the study and application of methods and techniques for investigating diseases and related conditions from skeletal and soft tissue remains. The International Journal of Paleopathology (IJPP) will publish original and significant articles on human and animal (including hominids) disease, based upon the study of physical remains, including osseous, dental, and preserved soft tissues at a range of methodological levels, from direct observation to molecular, chemical, histological and radiographic analysis. Discussion of ways in which these methods can be applied to the reconstruction of health, disease and life histories in the past is central to the discipline, so the journal would also encourage papers covering interpretive and theoretical issues, and those that place the study of disease at the centre of a bioarchaeological or biocultural approach. Papers dealing with historical evidence relating to disease in the past (rather than history of medicine) will also be published. The journal will also accept significant studies that applied previously developed techniques to new materials, setting the research in the context of current debates on past human and animal health.
