The first probable evidence of leprosy in a male individual (17th-19th century AD) unearthed in Northern Portugal (Travanca, Santa Maria da Feira)

Linda Melo et al.

Summary: This study presents the first evidence of a probable case of leprosy from northern Portugal, filling an important gap in the history of leprosy in the region. Further research is recommended to explore additional skeletal evidence of leprosy and utilize ancient DNA analysis to confirm the presence of the pathogen. Additionally, more documentary research is needed to enhance understanding of the epidemiological and social impact of leprosy in Portugal during the 17th-19th centuries.
