Salmonella May Have Caused Massive Aztec Epidemic, Study Finds
https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/...tudy-finds

It was one of the most devastating epidemics in human history. The 1545 outbreak, and a second wave in 1576, killed an estimated 7 million to 17 million people and contributed to the destruction of the Aztec Empire.

In the end, they found evidence of the deadly Salmonella enterica Paratyphi C bacteria.

The study does not pinpoint the source of the bacteria, which is an area of great interest for biologists and archaeologists alike. The authors note that many epidemics of the period are believed to originate with European invaders who arrived in the region in the early part of the 16th century, but the new research doesn't present biological evidence for or against that.

A previous study suggested the pathogen responsible for the epidemic originated in Mexico, and that the epidemic was exacerbated by drought. And, Bos notes, "the Europeans who were observing the symptoms didn't know what it was, and Europeans got it as well," which suggests it wasn't a disease endemic to Europe.

Funny how history changes sometimes.

Seems politically correct to show that immigrants are not likely to introduce damaging outbreaks of disease.

Very timely discovery.

funny how time changes what is learned and understood, eh?

if there's one thing I learned at the earliest whilst climbing the ladder to the latter......they're all full of shite and only know what they know at a specific point in time.....

the rest of it simply becomes a food plot for the fawns and does to wander upon......one can only hope there's a sage buck in the background telling them 'when'......

Paraptyphoid fever is still a thing in the undeveloped world. Mostly in Asia and Africa anymore. Its caused by that same bacteria they cite. There is a Salmonella Paratyphi A & B as well.

Prior to going to school and getting all edjumacated, I was a Navy Corpsman with USMC combat engineers. I still know all kinds of stuff about bad things that happen to good (and bad) people in places off the beaten path..

Interesting.

Well smallpox did play a big part in the decimation of Indians on the US east coast and Mississippi Valley.

My people originate from Mongolia. All you have to do is look at native American (both American and Mexican) and you will see very similar facial features. Eskimos share this look. It doesn't take a genius.

More than that

This was known before genetics.

But the Indians paid the white man back, introducing syphilis to the Spaniards.
