Archaeological and anatomical evidence shows that tuberculosis afflicted the ancient communities of the Nile Valley at least as far back as the 3d millennium B.C. At no period, perhaps, was it excessively frequent, though the lack of visceral remains available for study makes this point inconclusive. Though the cow was a common domesticated animal, there is no evidence as to whether the human or the bovine type of bacillus was responsible for most of the lesions. || ABSTRACT AUTHORS: A.
