Ancient pathogen DNA from animals can shed light on zoonotic processes in the deep past,but to this day reconstructed genomes are rare. In our new ms we explore the possibility of identifying pathogen DNA from the zooarchaeological record across 6000 years of Eurasian history doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Zoonoses are among the greatest threats to human health, with many zoonotic pathogens believed to have emerged during prehistory. Palaeomicrobiological investigations of the zooarchaeological record h...
