La salud y la enfermedad en las poblaciones del pasado a través de la paleoparasitología

Abstract

La presencia de parásitos en distintos puntos del planeta y su relación con los factores físicos (latitud, longitud, altitud) y biológicos (flora y fauna de la zona) están íntimamente ligados a la presencia y/o ausencia de hospedadores intermediarios. Los estudios llevados a cabo en material antiguo son diversos, abarcando una amplia cronología. Mediante estos, podremos inferir los hábitos de estas poblaciones, pudiendo evidenciar actividades socioeconómicas, así como la presencia de determinados animales domésticos y peridomésticos. Podemos ver y deducir que la parasitología en general esta íntimamente relacionada con los modos de vida de los grupos humanos, tanto del pasado como del presente en todo el planeta. En este trabajo se hace alusión a los principales avances producidos en esta disciplina a nivel global, así como los distintos trabajos llevados a cabo en España y las perspectivas futuras de esta disciplina. El estudio paleoparasitológico es una herramienta de primer orden, que aporta un gran número de evidencias acerca de la situación real de las poblaciones del pasado en cuanto a sus condiciones de vida.

The presence of parasites in different parts of the planet and its relationship with physical (latitude, longitude, altitude) and biological factors (flora and fauna of the area) are closely linked to the presence and / or absence of intermediate hosts. The studies carried out in ancient material are diverse, covering a wide chronology. Through these, we can infer the habits of these populations, being able to show socio-economic activities, as well as the presence of certain domestic and peridomestic animals. We can see and deduce that parasitology in general is closely related to the ways of life of human groups, both past and present throughout the planet. This work refers to the main advances produced in this discipline at a global level, as well as the different works carried out in Spain and the future perspectives of this discipline. The paleoparasitological study is a first-rate tool, which provides a large number of evidence about the real situation of the populations of the past in terms of their living conditions.
