Scientists say that an epidemic and life -threatening disease first rewrites a species of bacteria when it comes to America. And the arrival of European explorers was long ago.
The Institute Pasteur Researchers in Paris, France, with the help of the US University, recently announced that the second species of bacteria were also responsible in the news announcement Sickness In America is called leprosy or hancence disease.
In previous yearsThose who were called bacterium believed Mycobacterium It caused leprosy and spread only in America by early European explorers and colonists.
However, the disclosure of the second bacterium tells the theory of blaming the colonists on his head, as the existing pressure is already on the continents of calling the new world home.

Bacterium Mycobacterium Researchers say that Europeans have existed for 1,000 years before arriving and are infected humans.
The first author of the study in the Institute of Pasteur and the researcher of laboratory microbial paleogenomics Dr. Maria Lopopolo said it would change everything about leprosy in America.
“This invention converts our understanding of the history of leprosy in America. It shows that the disease is already local in the local population before the Europeans arrive,” he said in a statement.

The study began after scientists of Laboratory of Microbial Paliogenomics in Institute Pastor, French National Scientific Research and the University of Colorado, US – later began Mycobacterium Red squirrels were found in the Mexican patient in 2008 and in the British Islands in 2016.
Using advanced genetic techniques to rebuild genomes Mycobacterium From ancient figures in Argentina and Canada, scientists found that two breeds of different regions were genetically close Mycobacterial The Genome Family Tree, which means bacteria spread rapidly across the continent.
The results have made it confirmed, the release said Mycobacterium Already spread throughout North and South America.
Researchers were able to study more than 800 different DNA models and recent medical cases of leprosy from ancient human remains. (Istock)
Researchers worked in collaboration with local communities, various international institutions and archaeologists, according to release, and more than 800 were able to study DNA models From recent clinical cases that show the symptoms of ancient human remains and leprosy.
Nicholas Raskovan, the leading author of the study Pasteur InstituteHe said research proves that human history can be changed.
“We have begun to reveal the diversity and global movements of this recently identified pathogen,” he said. “This study allows us to hire HYP that there may be unknown animal reservoirs.”

Planning Disease control and prevention centers (CDC) says leprosy can affect patients, skin and eyes and treat with antibiotics. According to CDC, 225 people in the US and 250,000 worldwide have been affected by Hansen.
