The corpses were buried in stone sarcophagi, which were still sealed at the time of excavation. Parasite marker extraction was conducted on sediment samples taken from the abdominal and pelvic regions, but also on samples taken from under the head and the feet as control samples. Microscopic observation revealed the presence of 3 gastrointestinal parasites, namely the roundworm (&lt;i&gt;Ascaris&lt;\/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;lumbricoides&lt;\/i&gt;), the whipworm (&lt;i&gt;Trichuris&lt;\/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;trichiura&lt;\/i&gt;) and the fish tapeworm (genus &lt;i&gt;Diphyllobothrium&lt;\/i&gt;). This analysis contributes to a better knowledge of the health status and the lifestyle of ancient medieval populations during the Merovingian period, for which very few paleoparasitological data were available, up until now. It demonstrates the presence of the fish tapeworm for the first time during this period.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3347\/kjp.2019.57.6.613","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,2]],"date-time":"2020-01-02T04:05:11Z","timestamp":1577937911000},"page":"613-619","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3347\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Paleoparasitology of Merovingian Corpses Buried in Stone Sarcophagi in the Saint-Martin-au-Val Church (Chartres, France)"],"prefix":"10.3347","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Dufour","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emilie","family":"Portat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Bazin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthieu","family":"Le Bailly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1900","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/microbiolspec.PoH-0013-2015"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"65","volume-title":"Note on the presence of \u201cBilharzia haematobia\u201d in Egyptian mummies of the twentieth dynasty [1250\u20131000 B.C.]","author":"Ruffer","year":"1910"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03177148"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"216","volume-title":"Parasitic helminths in mediaeval remains","author":"Taylor","year":"1955"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"404","volume-title":"L\u2019\u00e9glise Saint-Martin-au-Val.
