Ancient bacterial genomes reveal a formerly unknown diversity of <i>Treponema pallidum</i> strains in early modern Europe

2020-06-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Sexually transmitted (venereal) syphilis marked European history with a devastating epidemic at the end of the 15 th century, and is currently re-emerging globally. Together with non-venereal treponemal diseases, like bejel and yaws, found in subtropical and tropical regions, it poses a prevailing health threat worldwide. The origins and spread of treponemal diseases remain unresolved, including...
