Publikováno v: Annals of Human Biology, Vol 44, Iss 5, Pp 397-407 (2017)

Background: The biology of human migration can be observed from the co-evolutionary relationship with infectious diseases. While many pathogens are brief, unpleasant visitors to human bodies, others have the ability to become life-long human passenge
