Abstract excerpt

The etiological agent of yaws is the spirochete Treponema pallidum (TP) subsp. pertenue (TPE) and infects the children of Papua New Guinea, causing ulcerative skin lesions that impairs normal growth and development. Closely related strains of Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue, JE11, and TE13 were detected in an ulcer biospecimen derived from a 5-year-old yaws patient. Cloning experiments validated the presence...
