One (Sk.8) was a male child, two (Sk.45 and Sk.52) were adolescent females and the fourth (Sk.512) was an adult male. The cemetery was in use between the 10th and 12th centuries. All showed skeletal lesions of leprosy. Additionally, one of the two females (Sk.45) had lesions suggestive of multi-cystic tuberculosis and the second (Sk.52) of leprogenic odontodysplasia (LO), a rare malformation of the roots of the permanent maxillary incisors.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Gap statement.<\/jats:bold> Relatively little is known of the manifestations of lepromatous leprosy (LL) in younger individuals from the archaeological record.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Aims and Methodology.<\/jats:bold> To address this, we have used ancient DNA testing and osteological examination of the individuals, supplemented with X-ray and microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) scan as necessary to assess the disease status.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Results and Conclusions.<\/jats:bold> The presence of <jats:italic>Mycobacterium leprae<\/jats:italic> DNA was confirmed in both females, and genotyping showed SNP type 3I-1 strains but with a clear genotypic variation. We could not confirm <jats:italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis<\/jats:italic> complex DNA in the female individual SK.45. High levels of <jats:italic>M. leprae<\/jats:italic> DNA were found within the pulp cavities of four maxillary teeth from the male child (Sk.8) with LO, consistent with the theory that the replication of <jats:italic>M. leprae<\/jats:italic> in alveolar bone may interfere with root formation at key stages of development. We report our biomolecular findings in these individuals and review the evidence this site has contributed to our knowledge of mediaeval leprosy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/jmm.0.001806","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,16]],"date-time":"2024-02-16T12:17:06Z","timestamp":1708085826000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Bioarchaeological investigation of individuals with suspected multibacillary leprosy from the mediaeval leprosarium of St Mary Magdalen, Winchester, Hampshire, UK"],"prefix":"10.1099","volume":"73","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4215-3916","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G.
