An outbreak of the human-borne sexually-transmitted disease was discovered in penguins at the San Francisco Zoo in May, 2005. Officials said that the disease was probably first contracted in February of that year, and was not sexually-transmitted. One theory links the outbreak to seagull droppings, but the actual cause remains unknown. Twelve penguins died from the disease, while fifty-five survived. See Chlamydia strikes penguin colony for more information. Chlam ...

There were originally no effective treatments for syphilis. The most common in use were guaiacum and mercury: the use of mercury gave rise to the saying "A night in the arms of Venus leads to a lifetime on Mercury". Though no proper studies were done to prove it, mercury may have been an effective means to treat syphilis. It was administered multiple ways including by mouth and by rubbing it on the skin. One of the more fascinating methods was fumigation, in which the patient was placed in a closed box with their head sticking out. Mercury w ...

It was only in the 20th century that effective tests and treatments for syphilis were developed. In 1906, the first effective test for syphilis, the Wassermann test, was developed. Although it had some false positive results, it was a major advance in the prevention of syphilis. By allowing testing before the acute symptoms of the disease had developed, this test allowed the prevention of the transmission of syphilis to others, even though it did not provide a cure for those infected. In the 1930s the Hinton test, developed by William Augustus Hinton, and based on flocculation, was shown to have fewer false po ...

Different manifestations occur at each stage of the disease. Syphilis - Primary syphilis. Primary syphilis is manifested after an incubation period of 10-90 days (the average is 21 days) with a primary sore. During the initial incubation period, individuals are asymptomatic. The sore, called a chancre, is a firm, painless skin ulceration localized at the point of initial exposure to the bacterium, often on the penis, vagina or rectum. Local lymph node swelling can occur. The primary lesion may persist for 4 to 6 weeks and then heal spontaneously. ...

In 1530, Girolamo Fracastoro, a physician and poet, wrote a poem from which syphilis derived its name. There are references to syphilis in William Shakespeare's play Measure for Measure, particularly in a number of early passages spoken by the character Lucio. For example, Lucio says "[...] thy bones are hollow"; this is a reference to the brittleness of bones engendered by the use of mercury which was then widely used to treat syphilis. Some critics have argued that the character of Edward Rochester's first wife, Bertha ...
