The result is given an interpretation in terms of efficient allocationof risk.

D.; Marcsik, A.; Matheson, C.; Vernon, K.; Nuorala, E.; Molto, J. E.; Greenblatt, C. L.; Spigelman, M.;Both leprosy and tuberculosis were prevalent in Europe during the first millennium but thereafter leprosy declined. It is not known why this occurred, but one suggestion is that cross-immunity protected tuberculosis patients from leprosy. To investigate any relationship between the two diseases, selected archaeological samples, dating from the Roman period to the thirteenth century, were examined for both Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA, using PCR. The work was carried out and verified in geographically separate and independent laboratories. Several specimens with palaeopathological signs of leprosy were found to contain DNA from both pathogens, indicating that these diseases coexisted in the past. We suggest that the immunological changes found in multi-bacillary leprosy, in association with the socio-economic impact on those suffering from the disease, led to increased mortality from tuberculosis and therefore to the historical decline in leprosy.

M.; Fenton, K. A.; Mercer, C. H.; Erens, B.; Wellings, K.;Studies from developing countries1 and sexually transmitted diseases clinics in developed countries2 show that male circumcision appears to protect against some ulcerative sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and decreases the risk of HIV infection.3 We used data from the 2000 British National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal 2000)—a large scale, stratified, probability sample survey—to estimate the prevalence of male circumcision in Britain and investigate its association with key demographic characteristics, sexual behaviours, and reported STI diagnosis. Natsal 2000 methodology details are published elsewhere.4 For the purposes of this investigation, data from targeted oversampling of black Caribbean, black African, Indian, and Pakistani groups (the Natsal ethnic minority boost) were combined with the main survey data in order to increase the numbers of these respondents included …
