Investigating the role of whole genome sequencing in syphilis epidemiology: an English case study

2022-12-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Syphilis is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection caused by Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum , with approximately 6.3 million annual cases globally. Over the last decade, syphilis rates have risen dramatically in many high-income countries, including in England, which has seen a greater than 150% increase. Although this increase is known to be associated with high risk sexual activit...
