Abstract:

The debate on the origins of venereal syphilis is more than 5 centuries old. It confronts supporters of an American origin with those advocating an older infection that emerged in the Old World. This question was the subject of a first international synthesis (ICEPID-1) in 1993:

The origins of Syphilis in Europe: before or after 1493?

New insights into the molecular biology of Treponemas, new paleopathological discoveries of skeletal treponematoses and the reactivation of paleomicrobiological research on Treponemas led to propose a new synthesis on this issue as an ICEPID-6.
