Leprosy in the Americas before Columbus

Mycobacterium lepromatosis genomes associated with 4,000-year-old human skeletons in Chile establish an American origin for this causal agent of leprosy (also known as Hansen’s disease), and point to different evolutionary trajectories and transmission pathways for M. lepromatosis and its sister pathogen Mycobacterium leprae.

期刊介绍： Nature Ecology & Evolution is interested in the full spectrum of ecological and evolutionary biology, encompassing approaches at the molecular, organismal, population, community and ecosystem levels, as well as relevant parts of the social sciences. Nature Ecology & Evolution provides a place where all researchers and policymakers interested in all aspects of life's diversity can come together to learn about the most accomplished and significant advances in the field and to discuss topical issues. An online-only monthly journal, our broad scope ensures that the research published reaches the widest possible audience of scientists.
