The " "'Treponema pallidum " particle agglutination assay "'( also called "'TPPA "'test ) is an indirect agglutination assay used for detection and titration of antibodies against the causative agent of syphilis, " Treponema pallidum " subspecies " pallidum ".

Yaws is a rarely fatal but highly disfiguring disease caused by the spiral-shaped bacterium ( spirochete ) " Treponema pallidum pertenue ", a relative of the syphilis bacteria " Treponema pallidum pallidum ", spread through skin to skin contact with infectious lesions.

Later, as a faculty member at the University of Texas at Houston, he led one of the first bacterial genome projects, collaborating with The Institute for Genomic Research to sequence the entire genome of a bacterium, " Treponema pallidum ", the organism that causes syphilis.

While working at the Rockefeller University ( then called the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research ) in 1913, Hideyo Noguchi, a Japanese scientist, demonstrated the presence of the spirochete " Treponema pallidum " in the brain of a progressive paralysis patient, associating " Treponema pallidum " with neurosyphilis.

He later cooperated with August Paul von Wassermann ( 1866 1925 ) to develop the famous diagnostic test for detecting " Treponema pallidum " infections, and also in the testing of the first chemotherapeutic agent for syphilis, Salvarsan, which was discovered by his former school fellow Paul Ehrlich in 1910.

She presents the disturbingly evocative ideas of Lynn Margulis, a biologist at the University of Massachusetts : that a hundred million years ago, the ancestors of the Treponema pallidum spirochete evolved in the airtight guts of cockroaches, and that the wiggling, fast-moving microbe is the precursor to the whiplike flagella that propel human sperm.

The author proposes that Beethoven's sublime final compositions, like the " Ode to Joy " of the Ninth Symphony, or the serenely shocking golds and blues of van Gogh's last paintings, may owe something to Treponema pallidum, the syphilis bacterium, which affects the central nervous system like a psychoactive drug and induces the illusion of great light.
