OLD WORLD ORIGINS OF SYPHILIS IN NEW YORK

The presence of Yaws and the time-course for its replacement by syphilis were investigated in upper New York State to assess Yaws as the original North American treponemal disease and to document the timing of the first origins of syphilis in this region. Skeletal remains from Frontenac Island [2000...
