the mysteries of syphilis Many infectious diseases have managed to establish themselves in human populations after the advent of agriculture, when dense settlements enabled them to spread and persist. Later, trade and warfare carried them around the world, typically from densely populated Eurasia to other parts of the world where the lack of immunity led to catastrophic consequences. Syphilis is the great exception to this scenario. It likely originated in the New World (if it hasn't spread with humans since the expansion out of Africa) and has now been shown to predate intensive agriculture and dense settlements. The pathogen _Treponema pallidum_ has been challenging researchers, but ancient DNA is now showing up that clarifies the origins and early evolution of this disease, which has terrified Europeans since Columbus came back from his transatlantic voyages. Read all about it in my latest feature which is out now: **An ancient disease from the New World** Current Biology Volume 36, Issue 5, 9 March 2026, Pages R171-R173 Restricted access to full text and PDF download (Unfortunately, this year's features will no longer become open access one year after publication - do contact me if you would like a PDF. Last year's features will still move to the open archives as this year advances.) Magic link for free access (first seven weeks only) See also my new Mastodon thread where I will highlight all this year's CB features. My mastodon posts are also mirrored on Bluesky. Last year's thread is here . _Treponema pallidum_ , which causes several diseases including syphilis, has proven difficult to cultivate and to study.

To cure #syphilis, doctors cut away the ulcers—buboes—& rubbed the wound w/mercury. They made salves of rhubarb & spices. They rubbed swollen testicles w/fenugreek. They used astringents, diuretics, & purgatives.

Editorial is definitely worth a read - it goes into some of the historical aspects of #syphilis and treatments.

Interesting (but not terribly surprising) to learn that 3-dose regimens were based on very low quality evidence and haven't changed in 50 years! 🤯

There are shortages of #BPG. Cases of #congenitalsyphilis are surging. A clinical trial of different treatment regimens for late or unk duration #syphilis is desperately needed.

Not only in the US, but in other global settings where access and resources are limited.

Is three really what we need?

Important paper about how we treat #syphilis - are 3 doses of benzathine #penicillin G needed for late or unk duration infections? Using surveillance data, no differences in 1 v 3 doses of BPG (or vs 28d of #doxy) were observed.

We need a trial👇🏽!
