In this study, Ascaris DNA was extracted and sequenced from a medieval archaeological sample in Korea. While Ascaris eggs were confirmed to be of human origin by archaeological evidence, it was not possible to pinpoint the exact species due to close genetic relationships among them. Despite this shortcoming, this is the first Ascaris ancient DNA (aDNA) report from a medieval Asian country and thus will expand the scope of Ascaris aDNA research.
本研究从韩国的一个中世纪考古样本中提取并测序了蛔虫 DNA。虽然考古证据证实了蛔虫卵来自人类，但由于它们之间的遗传关系非常接近，因此无法确定确切的物种。尽管存在这一缺陷，但这是来自中世纪亚洲国家的首例蛔虫古 DNA（aDNA）报告，因此将扩大蛔虫 aDNA 研究的范围。
