AbstractTreponema pallidum, a bacterium from the Spirochaetota phylum, is responsible for treponematoses, such as syphilis, yaws, bejel, and pinta. Different subspecies of this bacterium cause each of these diseases. This study focuses onTreponema pallidumsubsp.pertenue(TPE), which causes yaws in humans and is primarily transmitted through direct ...

Coinfection of a yaws patient with two closely related Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue strains
The etiological agent of yaws is the spirochete Treponema pallidum (TP) subsp. pertenue (TPE) and infects the children of Papua New Guinea, causing ulcerative skin lesions that impairs normal growth and development. Closely related strains of Treponema pallidum subsp.

Prevalence of yaws and syphilis in the Ashanti region of Ghana and occurrence of H. ducreyi, herpes simplex virus 1 and herpes simplex virus 2 in skin lesions associated with treponematoses [PDF]
Yaws affects children in tropical regions, while syphilis primarily affects sexually active adults worldwide. Despite various campaigns towards the eradication of yaws and elimination of syphilis, these two diseases are still present in Ghana.

Effect of repeated mass drug administration on the transmission of yaws: a retrospective genomic epidemiology study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Yaws, a neglected tropical disease caused by Treponema pallidum subspecies pertenue (T p pertenue), has evaded eradication, in part due to a high proportion of asymptomatic cases.

In our most recent study, we found that in Tanzania infection with Treponema pallidum (TP) subsp. pertenue (TPE) is present in four different monkey species. In order to gain information on the diversity and epidemiological spread of the infection in Tanzanian nonhuman primates (NHP), we identified two suitable candidate genes for multi-locus sequence ...
