EEN EI HOORT ERBIJ ... PARASIETEN IN EN OP DE 17E-EEUWSE BEWONERS VAN HET MARTINIKERKHOF IN GRONINGEN (GR.)

Samenvatting

The egg of a whipworm, which was found by chance during the mounting of the first archaeological remains of head lice (Pe­diculus humanus L. 1758) ever to be found in a Dutch comb, was tentatively identified as Trichuris trichiura (L. 1758), thereby il­lustrating the presence of both endo­parasites and ectoparasites troubling the inhabitants of the Martinikerkhof in Gro­ningen in the 17th century.
