Background Since the first recorded epidemic of syphilis in 1495, controversy has
surrounded the origins of the bacterium Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum and its …

Treponemal diseases comprise venereal syphilis (Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum)
and the endemic (non-venereal) treponematoses, ie yaws (T. pallidum subsp. pertenue) …

Yaws is an infectious disease caused by Treponema pallidum pertenue—a bacterium that
closely resembles the causative agent of syphilis—and is spread by skin-to-skin contact in …

The glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterases are evolutionarily conserved proteins that

Pathogenic uncultivable treponemes, similar to syphilis-causing Treponema pallidum
subspecies pallidum, include T. pallidum ssp. pertenue, T. pallidum ssp. endemicum and …

By means of a differential screening technique, a 92-kDa antigen, designated Tp92, was
identified from Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. This protein is similar in sequence …

The origin of syphilis is still controversial. Different research avenues explore its fascinating
history. Here we employed a new integrative approach, where paleopathology and …
