Article Synopsis
- Human settlement in Madagascar began in the first millennium with migrations from Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, leaving cultural and genetic legacies.
- The study used whole-genome sequencing to analyze leprosy strains in Madagascar and the Comoros, identifying a new genotype (1D-Malagasy) prevalent in these regions and linked to local public health issues.
- Findings indicate that leprosy likely originated from later migrations from East Africa, the Middle East, or South Asia, rather than being introduced by the early Austronesian settlers.
