A germ's journey to isolated islands
The presence of skeletal tuberculosis in Hawaiian populations prior to Euro-American contact (i.e. before Captain Cook) raises the question: ‘From where did it come?’ Three hypotheses are explored: the Polynesians brought it with them in their migrations across the Pacific from Asia; it was acquired through contact with American Indians during prehistoric times; some nameless sixteenth or seventeenth century tuberculous Spanish sailor was shipwre…

Treponematosis in Pre‐Spanish Western Micronesia
There is no longer any doubt that treponemal infections existed in the pre-Columbian New World. In Europe, a few reported pre-Columbian cases seem to be rather firm both in diagnosis and dating. The possibility of treponema having been brought from the New World by Norsemen has been suggested. A New World origin hypothesis ignores the extremely high prevalence of yaws in pre-Spanish western Micronesia. On a sample of 486 individuals, we found 17–…
On the antiquity of leprosy in western Micronesia
The presence of leprosy in China is documented to 190 BC, and possibly earlier.; It is believed to have spread from China to Japan. Its presence in Oceania has heretofore been documented only since the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries AD, and has been attributed to migration of people from China into the Pacific subsequent to western contact and trans-Pacific trade.In the osteological analysis of 700 skeletons from pre-Spanish archaeological c…
