Listen to the recent episode of @HOLOBIONT_ where I talk about people, poop and parasites

[HOLOBIONT @HOLOBIONT_]

Alongside modern genomics & bio-informatics, 🪱parasites 🪱conserved in archaeological sites can shed light on past societies🏛

@pgflammer speaks about ancient DNA, helminths sampled in Medieval burial grounds and the hygiene hypothesis.

In this ancient dog DNA study by Anders Bergström et al., we show that already 11,000 years ago there were ≥5 different dog groups across the world. https://t.co/paSxpe6Eny

We then trace the history written in dog & human DNA together, through the Holocene to global dogs today.

This week's #PhilTransB issue looks at how ancient biomolecules can be used to address questions about the history and spread of microbes and parasites around the world https://t.co/0wt1tkBs1o. Edited by @StoneLab_ASU @CecilMLewisJr @OU_LMAMR and @evmed_ch

#Parasite worms were common in Medieval Europe, with 40% of people parasitized by Ascaris and 25% by whipworm, say @pgflammer and Hannah Ryan of @OxZooDept, @PalaeoBARN, et al.

Parasitic Infections Common in Medieval Europe. Analysing samples from 589 graves at 7 sites dated 680-1700 A.D., Adrian Smith et al. discovered 2 common parasites, roundworm & whipworm, at each site, and 2 food-derived parasites tapeworms at 4 sites. https://t.co/WhVbsLOb1O

We know that people in the past had all sorts of diseases, but little is known about the epidemiology. Here is our recent study to shed some light on medieval worms:

It is always nice to get books, especially if I contributed (a tiny part) to them. Thanks @oatweet

Eerily evocative photographs by @RoryCarnegie capturing our "abaondoned ship" HMS Tinbergen, now in the process of being demolished. RIP. Including @StuWest8's cocktail glass and our asbestos graffiti. Thank you Rory @OxZooDept https://t.co/ZcaJQxT2zK

@don_o_meara I find Tina Turner for Switzerland slightly insulting. Yes, she's a Swiss citizen since 2013, but couldn't you think of someone who grew up in Switzerland? Like Ursula Andress, Johanna Spyri, Carla del Ponte, ...

How is everyone spending their quarantine time? After Apollo 11, I spent mine inside a secure building, the Lunar Receiving Laboratory, for 3 weeks - writing mission reports, conducting debriefs & exercising! Show me how you’re staying safe from COVID-19. #StayingSafeWithBuzz

@sylvswarren @Ghostwoods I'm sorry to hear that! Get better very soon!
