Scientists say that a species of bacteria re -writes history when an infectious and possible fatal disease first reached the US. And it was long before the arrival of European explorers.
Researchers at Institute Pasteur in Paris, France with the help of American University announced in a recent news release that another species of bacteria is also responsible for the disease known as leprosy, or Hansen disease in the US.
Over the yearsMany believed that the bacteria is known as Mourning Due to leprosy and it was spread only by early European explorers and settling in the US.
However, the revelation of another bacterium blames that theory on its head, as an existing tension was already on the continents calling the New World Home.

Bacteria Mourning Researchers say that humans exist and infected for 1,000 years before the arrival of Europeans.
The first author of the study and researcher at the laboratory of Microbial Palogenomics at Institute Pasteur. Maria Lopopolo said that it changes everything about leprosy in America.
He said, “This discovery changes our understanding of the history of leprosy in America. It shows that before the arrival of Europeans, a form of this disease was already spatial among the indigenous population.”

Study – Under the leadership of scientists of the laboratory of microbial pelogenomics at institute posture, with the French National Center for Scientific Research, and with the University of Colorado – Mourning A Mexican patient was found in 2008, and in 2016 the red squirrels in the British Islands.
Using advanced genetic techniques to re -organize the genome Mourning From the ancient individuals of Argentina and Canada, scientists found that two strains from different regions were genetically close. Rabbit The genome family tree, which means that bacteria spread rapidly throughout the continent.
Release said the results confirmed that Mourning Already spread across North and South America.
Researchers were able to study over 800 different DNA samples from ancient human remains and showed signs of leprosy in recent medical cases. (Istock)
As per the release, researchers worked in collaboration with indigenous communities, various international institutions and archaeologists, and were able to do more than 800 studies DNA samples Ancient human remains show signs of leprosy from recent medical matters and recent medical matters.
Nicholas Raskovan, lead author of studies Deferred pasteurSaid that research proves that human history can be changed.
“We are starting to highlight the diversity of the recently identified pathogen and global movements,” he said. “This study allows us to envisage that unknown animals can be reservoir.”

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that leprosy can affect the veins of patients, skin and eyes, and are treated with antibiotics. According to CDC, 225 people in the US, and 250,000 worldwide, contract Hansen’s disease.
