- Terrifying, maddening and utterly heart-breaking. Truly incredible journalism to expose and document this.
- I'll be using this data in the talk I'll be giving in February documenting that leprosy was already a global disease well before European expansion across the Atlantic & Pacific. For #histmed, this raises new questions: how did different societies *care* for the afflicted?
- Okay, done. I've captured the leprosy genomes out of the aDNA pathogen database that Sikora et al. pub'd in July. As they noted in their own analysis, it's now been well documented that leprosy was circulating in N Europe thruout the Middle Ages, & seems to have been tied to trade in squirrel skins.
