Discovery of the path of the infection is found by the discovery of the stick "Chuku (fucker)" which wipes the butt which was used in Silk Road 2000 years ago

So far, similar pathogens have been found in ancient China and Europe, but no evidence has been found to show how the causative pathogenic bacteria have been transmitted to distant places. The theory that the same pathogenic bacteria were carried to China and Europe by "Route of India to the south" and "Route of Mongolia / Russia to Kitakami" was preeminent, but the research team of Cambridge University is located in northern ChinaTaklamakan DesertUsed to wipe the ass along the nearby Silk Road "Dead tree(Fucker) "discovered that pathogenic bacteria had spread through the ancient Silk Road.

A research team including Mr. Hui-Yuan Yeh of the University of Cambridge Archeology and Anthropology was born in 111 to 109 BCHan dynastyI investigated the ancient relay stations used in the Silk Road of the era. A stick of cloth wrapped around the cloth at the tip was found from the toilet of the relay station to be used for wiping out the stool, but the research team examined this 'mobile portable tree' by the microscopic examination method As a result,Roundworm·Hornbug·Tapeworm·Liver flukesThe eggs of four kinds of parasites were found to be found.


Liver fluke is a parasite that causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, jaundice, liver cancer, etc. It inherently lives in an area such as a wetland with mainly water, so it becomes an indigenous species of a dry desert area where a relay station was located I can not get it. Even when checking against current epidemic areas of liver fluke, these parasites have been transported from different areas via humans, as the relay plants and the relay stations are far away from Guangdong Province where many liver fluke inhabit. It is thought that. This discovery suggests that the Silk Road was the first infection route of pathogenic bacteria between China and Europe.

At that time, the relay station was used when merchants, explorers, soldiers, bureaucrats, etc. traveled between East Asia and the Middle East / Mediterranean region, silk roads were found both in China and EuropeBubonic plague·Anthrax·LeprosyThe researchers are predicting that it might have been the infection route of pathogenic bacteria such as.
