N2 - Helminth infections used to be common in thehumans in Denmark. The whipworm (Trichuris sp.)and roundworm (Ascaris sp.) are of particularinterest as they produce very hard-shelled eggs,which allow them to be recovered in theenvironment after extended periods of time.In this project we will investigate how the diversityof food-borne parasitic infections has changedwith cultural and dietary habits, hunting practiceand intensity of animal husbandry. This is done byisolating and typing ancient DNA remains fromparasite eggs found in archeological samples fromacross Denmark.
