African nonhuman primates are infected with the yaws bacterium <i>Treponema pallidum</i> subsp. <i>pertenue</i>

2017-05-10

Abstract excerpt

Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue ( TPE ) is the causative agent of yaws. The disease was subject to global eradication efforts in the mid 20 th century but reemerged in West Africa, Southern Asia, and the Pacific region. Despite its importance for eradication, detailed data on possible nonhuman disease reservoirs are missing. A number of African nonhuman primates (NHPs) have been reported to show skin ulcerat...
