  • Title: [Overview of endemic treponematoses].
    Author: Morand JJ, Simon F, Garnotel E, Mahé A, Clity E, Morlain B.
    Journal: Med Trop (Mars); 2006 Feb; 66(1):15-20. PubMed ID: 16615610.
    Abstract:
    Endemic treponematoses including yaws, bejel, pinta are distinguished from venereal syphilis on the basis of epidemiological characteristics and clinical manifestations. They cannot be differentiated by morphological and serological methods. A few minor genetic differences have been identified among the subspecies (Treponema pallidum sp. pallidum, pertenue, endemicum, carateum). Although penicillin therapy is effective, these infectious diseases have yet to be eliminated.
