Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi C causes enteric (paratyphoid) fever in humans. Its presentation can range from asymptomatic infections of the blood stream to gastrointestinal or urinary tract infection even a fatal septicemia [1Jacobs M.R. Koornhof H.J. Crisp S.I. Palmhert H.L. Fitzstephens A. Enteric caused by paratyphi South and West Africa.S. Afr. Med. J. 1978; 54: 434-438PubMed Google Scholar]. is very rare Europe North America except for occasional travelers East Asia Africa,...
Hansen's disease (leprosy), widespread in medieval Europe, is today mainly prevalent tropical and subtropical regions with around 200,000 new cases reported annually. Despite its long history appearance historical records, origins past dissemination patterns are still widely unknown. Applying ancient DNA approaches to major causative agent, Mycobacterium leprae, can significantly improve our understanding of the disease's complex history. Previous studies have identified a high genetic...
Immigration and mobility in the medieval post-medieval periods Norway have, up until now, mainly been discussed on basis of historical sources. This paper presents results stable oxygen isotope (δ18O) analyses 1st 3rd molars from 95 individuals Trondheim, as well new information about δ18O composition precipitation drinking water Trondheim. Through these analyses, authors have attempted to shed light age migrating directions migration, investigate temporal changes with regard make...
Abstract This article presents the multidisciplinary effort in trying to identify skeletal remains of 100 N orwegian soldiers serving G erman army, killed K arelia R ussia 1944, from recovery through final identification using DNA . Of 150 bone samples sent for testing, 93 profiles were obtained relating 57 unique individuals. The relatives could not be directly contacted as considered traitors Norway; therefore, only 45 reference samples, 42 cases missing, donated. matches 14 and 12...
This article presents the life stories of three individuals who lived in Trondheim, Norway, during 13th century. Based on skeletal examinations, facial reconstructions, genetic analyses, and stable oxygen isotope birthplace, mobility, ancestry, pathology, physical appearance these people are presented. The discussed within relevant historical context. These would have been ordinary citizens, without any privileges out ordinary, which makes them quite rare academic literature. Through study...
Abstract Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi C is the causative agent of enteric (paratyphoid) fever. While today a potentially lethal infection humans that occurs in Africa and Asia, early 20 th century observations Eastern Europe suggest it may once have had wider-ranging impact on human societies. We recovered draft genome from 800-year-old skeleton young woman Trondheim, Norway, who likely died Analysis this against new, significantly expanded database related modern genomes...
