Geographically structured genomic diversity of non-human primate-infecting <i>Treponema pallidum</i> subsp. <i>pertenue</i>

2019-11-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Increasing evidence suggests many non-human primate (NHP) species in sub-Saharan Africa are infected with Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue (TPE), the bacterium causing yaws in humans. In humans, yaws is characterized by lesions of the extremities and face, while Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (TPA) causes venereal syphilis and is characterized by primary lesions on the genital, anal...
