Abstract

Dioctophymidae eggs were found in human coprolites dated from 3,384 to 3,370 BC from the site Arbon–Bleiche 3, Switzerland. This is the first record of dioctophymiasis in archaeological material. The important percentage of this disease in the studied coprolites raises the question of a higher prevalence during the Neolithic than at present.
