La paléoparasitologie : relation hôte parasite en contexte historique et paléoenvironnemental

Paleoparasitology of the ancient world has mainly concerned the study of latrine sediments, coprolites collected from mummified bodies or archeological strata, mostly preserved by natural conditions. The well-preserved conditions of helminth eggs have allowed paleoepideological approaches and application of immunological techniques for the detection of protozoan palaeoantigens.
