Abstract: Parasite findings in archeological material have made it possible to trace the dispersion of infectious agents and their human hosts in ancient times. These findings allow us to re-examine theories proposed at the beginning of the century concerning transpacific contacts that Asian populations may have had with South America. This has been the case, for example, with hookworm eggs found in archeological material dating up to 7,000 years before present. Because of the increase in scientific production in this a… Show more

“…It can be inferred that humans have been infected by some parasites before the peopling of the New World, as already mentioned by Darling (1920) and Soper (1927) regarding ancylostomid infection. For the above-mentioned helminths, except probably for E. vermicularis, their main gate to the Americas was not a land route through Beringia (Araújo et al 1988, Araújo & Ferreira 1995, 1997, Reinhard 1992. To some helminths, such as ancylostomids and T. trichiura, soil temperature is crucial to evolve to an infective stage.…”

“…Parasitological data showed that some of these parasites, especially hookworm, roundworm, and whipworm were introduced before 10,000 years ago by routes other than the Bering Land Bridge between Siberia and Alaska . Pinworm and head lice, by contrast, were able to complete their life cycles in cold conditions of Arctic and may therefore have been introduced by groups migrating across the Bering Land Bridge (Araújo and Ferreira, 1995).…”

“…Depuis les premiers travaux de Mark Armand Rufer (Rufer, 1910) de nombreux échantillons archéologiques ont été étudiés, issus de diférentes régions du globe, qui ont permis de renseigner sur la biodiversité et la répartition des parasites à travers les âges. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, quelques synthèses des données ont pu être publiées (Gonçalves et al, 2003), parfois centrées sur certaines régions du globe Nezamabadi et al, 2011), parfois s'intéressant à des maladies tritement humaines (Araújo et Ferreira, 1995et 1997Araújo et al, 2009 ;et 2013. Toutefois, les données concernant les parasites d'animaux sont peu fréquentes et souvent diluées dans des monographies de sites archéologiques ou des rapports de fouilles.…”
