Retrieving ascarid and taeniid eggs from the biological remains of a Neolithic dog from the late 9th millennium BC in Western Iran

Abstract: BACKGROUND Paleoparasitology reveals the status of parasitic infections in humans and animals in ancient times based on parasitic particles found in biological remains from archaeological excavations. This line of research emerged in Iran in 2013.OBJECTIVE The identification of parasites from Neolithic times is an attractive subject that shows the oldest origins of parasitic infections in a given geographical region. From an archaeological point of view, this archaeological site is well-known for animal domest… Show more

“…Echinococcus sp. findings have been reported in both the New and the Old World, but mainly as taeniids, except when molecular confirmation of the genera was achieved (Côté et al 2016; Gonçalves et al 2003; Paknezhad et al 2017; Reinhard 1990; Wilke and Hall 1975). Oviposition of these helminths differs importantly.…”

“…Parasitic particles from archaeo‐anthropological materials denounce a status of zoonosis, whose existence is established starting from Neolithic domestication events and sharing of living areas (Mazoyer & Roudart, 2006). Worldwide reports of helminth eggs have been reported for populations of Fertile Crescent (Diamond, 2002; Driscoll et al., 2009; Zeder, 2008), Western Iran (Paknezhad et al., 2017) and Atacama Desert (northern Chile) (Ramirez et al., 2021). The discovery of several cestode eggs in the dental calculus of an individual buried in the Pila cave could seem counterintuitive.…”

“…Although DNA of E. multilocularis was not identified in this study, the detection of DNA of other taeniids of foxes reveals that feed potentially pose a source for E. multilocularis eggs. So far, methods used to estimate the environmental or food contamination with taeniid eggs/DNA are not allowing to assess their viability, and hence, the results of such studies have to be carefully interpreted, especially considering that parasite DNA (e.g., Trichuris) [93] and also taeniid eggs [94] can be detected in archeological samples.…”
