Therefore, this paper not only aims to reveal how humans have been affected by endoparasites, but also addresses how early medical knowledge developed to cope with the parasitic diseases.
We also examine possible factors that favored the spread of these endoparasites among early humans. We discuss the presence and prevalence of three groups of parasites in ancient China: roundworm ( Ascaris lumbricoides), Asian schistosoma ( Schistosoma japonicum), and tapeworm (Taenia sp.). With this idea in mind, we have examined some ancient medical texts such as Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun () (Treatise on the Causes and Manifestations of. By integrating the findings of paleoparasitology with historic textual sources, we show that parasites have been affecting the lives of humans in China since ancient times.
An examination of early Chinese medical texts allows us to fill in some of the gaps and counteract apparent biases in the current archeoparasitological records. BIOCONTROL-PARASITE can simulate many different species of phytophagus. Nevertheless, comprehensive paleoparasitological records from China are patchy, largely due to taphonomic and environmental factors. This initial set, based on urban-rural data from the 2000 decennial census. Many studies have documented that several different species of eukaryotic endoparasites were present in early human populations throughout China.
