Media
The research our medical professionals have done in Guyana has recently been published in a respected professional journal, PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. The study is called On the Origin of the Treponematoses: A Phylogenetic Approach.
The study has since been covered in a variety of popular media outlets:

- “Columbus brought syphilis to Europe, study shows” by Carolyn Abraham in the Globe and Mail
