| Title |
Tracking Tuberculosis in the Past: The Use of Genealogical Evidence
|
| Abstract |
The authors investigate a series of mutations of tuberculosis, present in the 1990s among elderly persons in the Province of Quebec, linked to the suite of three episodes of high mobility in the province's past. The most recent was the rapid urbanization of the 1950s. In the 1840s exceptional mobility was a feature of frontier settlement and exploitation of timber. Unusual mobility in the 1750s and 1760s was associated with wartime conditions of the British conquest of Quebec and re-settlement of Acadian refugees. This scenario was developed by the authors from cartographic analysis (using geographic information systems), genealogies of the human hosts, and molecular genetics of the bacterium.
