Contemporary syphilis is characterised by rapid global spread of pandemic<i>Treponema pallidum</i>lineages

2021-03-28

Abstract excerpt

Syphilis is an important sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum . The last two decades have seen syphilis incidence rise in many high-income countries, yet the evolutionary and epidemiological relationships that underpin this are poorly understood, as is the global T. pallidum population structure. We assembled a geographically and temporally diverse collectio...
