Mycolic acids and ancient DNA confirm an osteological diagnosis of tuberculosis (2001)
Journal Article
Gernaey, A., Minnikin, D., Copley, M., Dixon, R., Middleton, J., & Roberts, C. (2001). Mycolic acids and ancient DNA confirm an osteological diagnosis of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis, 81(4), 259-265. https://doi.org/10.1054/tube.2001.0295

Setting: The underlying trends in the past epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) are obscure, requiring recourse to the archaeological record. It would therefore be of value to develop methods for reliable TB diagnosis in ancient populations. Objective:...
