Pfupisa nyaya yacho:  Vakatipa utsanana, waini, migero yemvura nemigwagwa, asi kunoratidzika kuti vaRoma vakatipawo chimwezve chinhu chokuwedzera kunhamba yacho - tibhii. Vanzveri vakaparadzanisa DNA yebhakitiriya yemarudzi anoverengeka echirwere chacho kubva mumiviri yavanhu vakafa vakawanikwa muimba yakavanzika yechechi muguta reVác muHungary. Vakawana marudzi 14 akasiyana-siyana ebhakitiriya yeTB yakanga yatapurira miviri misere yaiva muguva racho uye yakavatevera yose kudzokera kumanyuko mamwe chete. Zvitunha zvakaomeswa zvomukadzi ane makore 28 okukura Terézia Hausmann (ari pamusoro) akawanwa muimba yakavanzika yechechi yeDominican yomuzana ramakore rechi 18 muVác, Hungary, zvakanga zviri pakati paavo vakawanwa kuti vakanga vabatwa netibhii nevatsvakurudzi. Vanotaura kuti marudzi ose eTB avakawana akavapo kubva muchirwere chimwe chete icho chakanga chatanga kutapurira vanhu mukati menguva yapera yeRoma. Purofesa Mark Pallen, nyanzvi yezvinhu zvipenyu paYunivhesiti yeWarwick uyo akatungamirira basa racho akati: 'Nokuratidza kuti marudzi ekare anogona kunyatsoenzaniswa nemadzitateguru evanhu vemazuva ano, takaratidza kuti chirwere ichi chakapararira muEurope kubvira kare.' Vanyori venhau dzakaitika kare vakadzidzisa kuti vagari veAmerica Vokutanga vakapotsa vaparadzwa nezvirwere zvakadai setibhii, zvakaunzwa kuNyika Itsva nevatsvakurudzi vokuEurope. Asi imwe rondedzero itsva inotaura kuti kusvika kwehove dzomugungwa neshumba dzomugungwa chaizvoizvo kungava kuri kuita kuti zviitike. Masayendisiti anodavira kuti mhuka dzomugungwa dzakaunza chirwere chacho kuSouth America uko chakapararira - nguva refu Christopher Columbus asati asvika muna 1492. Nepo fungidziro dzichichinja, kunofungidzirwa kuti 95 muzana yavanhu vane mamirioni 20 vaigara muAmerica vaEurope vasati vasvika vakaurawa ne"zvirwere zvitsva" zvakaunzwa navatsvakurudzi. Nyanzvi dzorudzi rwomunhu Anne Stone weArizona State University naJohannes Krause veUniversity of Tubingen muGermany vakadzidza pre-Columbian Mycobacterial tuberculosis genomes. Chikwata chacho chakaongorora DNA yeTB kubva mumapfupa ane makore 1.000 okuberekwa akawanikwa muPeru pamwe chete nemimwe mienzaniso ndokuzvienzanisa nema genomes emazuva ano. Vakawana ukama hwakajeka nemitsara yeTB mumhuka - -
Miviri inenge 200 yakaomeswa yakawanikwa muimba yakavanzwa yechechi yeDominican muguta reVác muHungary paivakwazve. Nyanzvi dzezvinhu zvipenyu dzakatungamirirwa nemasayendisiti paYunivhesiti yeWarwick dzakadzidza mienzaniso kubva kumitumbi 26 uye dzakawana kuti vasere vavo vakanga vafa netuberculosis. Vakawana DNA yemarudzi 14 akasiyana-siyana eutachiona hweTB mummies.
