“…It is well known that consumption of infested beef and pork is the main cause of infection by this helminth. The inhabitants of these settlements ate these meats, and accordingly, this habit is reflected in their archaeoparasitological spectrum (Slepchenko et al, 2020(Slepchenko et al, , 2021(Slepchenko et al, , 2022. The fact that no eggs of Taenia cestodes were found at the Gornopravdinskiy burial ground may indicate that pork and beef played a secondary role in the diet of this population.…”

“…Furthermore, the samples from the Gornopravdinskiy burial ground did not contain any eggs of Taenia tapeworms, which have been found at many archaeological sites built by Russian populations of Siberia. For instance, eggs of helminths of this genus were found in large numbers in samples of the occupation layer and in fecal samples from toilets in the Russian towns of Mangazeya, Yeniseisk, and Stadukhinsky fort (Slepchenko et al, 2020(Slepchenko et al, , 2021(Slepchenko et al, , 2022.

“…Analysis of soil samples taken from the sacral surface, toilet samples, those of occupation layers, and dog coprolites have enabled description of the parasitological spectra of the towns of Mangazeya (17th century) and Yeniseisk (18th century) in Western and Eastern Siberia, respectively (Slepchenko et al, 2020(Slepchenko et al, , 2021. The results of an archaeoparasitological study on Stadukhinsky Fort, located in the subarctic zone of Eastern Siberia and dating to the same general period, also have been published (Slepchenko et al, 2022).…”

“…All of these investigations have allowed us to supple-ment the available data on, and to a certain extent to reconstruct, the dietary habits, types of economic activity, and migratory flows, as well as the sanitary conditions of settlements and the health of urban populations in the region (Slepchenko et al, 2020(Slepchenko et al, , 2021(Slepchenko et al, , 2022. Nevertheless, the archaeoparasitological approach has not been widely applied to the study of Western Siberian Russians.…”

The life of the long-established Russian inhabitants of Western Siberia has been well described. In fact, archaeological, ethnographic, and other information on its various aspects is abundant. Archaeoparasitological data, on the other hand, is lacking, particularly with regard to parasitosis incidence. In the present study, eggs of such fish parasites as Opisthorchis felineus and Diphyllobothrium spp. were identified in soil samples taken from the sacral surface of bodies that had been buried in the Gornopravdinskiy burial ground (on the Lower Irtysh River) in the 18th or 19th centuries. The study findings indicate that fish was a key component of the diet of the rural Russian population of that area. No statistically significant sex differences in fish consumption were identified. The parasitological spectrum of the population under consideration was narrow relative to the diversity of parasitoses in urban Russian populations. This fact probably reflects the lower-intensity population flows, their limited radii, and the different economic activities pursued by those people. Based on the archaeoparasitological data, the latter seem to have been closer to the economic activities practiced by the indigenous populations of Western Siberia.

“…(probably D. nihonkaiensis ) eggs were discovered in cesspit toilets at Yanagi-no-gosho Site in Hiraizumi Town, Iwate Prefecture (Iwate Prefectural Archaeological Center) dating to the 12th century [ 90 ]. In Russia, D. latus (under the name D. latum ) infection was discovered in human or animal remains (pelvic soil/coprolites) excavated in Western and Eastern Siberia [ 77 , 128 ].…”

Paleoparasitology is a discipline that applies existing conventional and molecular techniques to study parasites found in ancient ruins. This review focuses on the history of the discovery of parasites (mostly helminth eggs and larvae) in archaeological soil samples and mummies in Korea from the Three Kingdoms Period to the Joseon Dynasty (100 BCE-1910 CE). We also briefly review important milestones in global paleoparasitology. The helminth species reported so far in Korea included Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Strongyloides stercoralis (larva), Trichostrongylus sp. (larva), Paracapillaria philippinensis (syn. Capillaria philippinensis), Enterobius vermicularis, Fasciola hepatica, dicrocoeliids, Paragonimus westermani, Clonorchis sinensis, Metagonimus yokogawai, Pygidiopsis summa, Gymnophalloides seoi, Isthmiophora hortensis, Dibothriocephalus nihonkaiensis (syn. Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense), and Taenia spp. tapeworms. The findings obtained by Korean paleoparasitologists/archaeologists have brought about deep insight into the status of helminthic infections in Korea’s past populations. Continued paleoparasitological research is essential for further understanding of ancient parasites and parasitic diseases in Korea.
