Abstract
Treponema paraluisleporidarum infects lagomorphs and is a close relative of the human syphilis-bacterium Treponema pallidum. There is paucity of information on the epidemiology of hare syphilis and its relationship to rabbit- and human-infecting Treponema. We have found a high seropositivity (405/734) for Treponema paraluisleporidarum-infection in hares of Lower Saxony, Germany.
