Strain diversity of Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue suggests rare interspecies transmission in African nonhuman primates

Abstract 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 id...
