In this paper, paleoparasitological findings from rodent excrements obtained from Chehrabad Salt Mine archeological site located in northwest of Iran are demonstrated and discussed.
Chehrabad Salt Mine archeological site located in northwest of Iran, dated to the Achaemenid (mid 1(st) mill. BCE) and to Sassanid (3(rd) cent. - 7(th) cent. CE) period, is a unique study area to investigate parasites in the past millenniums in Iran. Rodent coprolites obtained from this archeological site were thoroughly analyzed for parasite eggs using TSP re-hydration technique.
Specimen analyzed were attributed to juvenile and adult rats based on their apparent morphology comparing with the modern dried pellets of Muridea family. Helminth eggs retrieved from two positive pellets were identified as Trichosomoides crassicauda, yphacia sp. and Trichuris sp.
The present paper discusses the first paleoparasitological findings of rodent gastrointestinal helminthes in Iran along with possible favorite items to rats in ancient Chehrabad Salt Mine.
本文展示并讨论了从位于伊朗西北部的切赫拉巴德盐矿考古遗址获取的啮齿动物粪便中的古寄生虫学发现。
位于伊朗西北部的切赫拉巴德盐矿考古遗址可追溯到阿契美尼德时期(公元前1千纪中叶)和萨珊王朝时期(公元3世纪至7世纪),是研究伊朗过去几千年寄生虫的独特研究区域。使用TSP复水技术对从该考古遗址获取的啮齿动物粪化石进行寄生虫卵的全面分析。
根据与鼠科现代干燥粪便颗粒的明显形态比较,分析的标本被归为幼年和成年大鼠。从两个阳性粪便颗粒中检索到的蠕虫卵被鉴定为粗尾 Trichosomoides、yphacia属和鞭虫属。
