High prevalence and genetic diversity of Treponema paraluisleporidarum isolates in European lagomorphs

ABSTRACT The bacterium Treponema paraluisleporidarum causes syphilis in lagomorphs. In a set of 1,095 samples from four species—European brown hare, mountain hare, Corsican hare, and European rabbit—we tested for infection and genotyped the strains that infect wild lagomorphs.
