Synopsis

Explore how non-venereal transmission shapes the history of syphilis and what it means for prevention.

It aims to illuminate practical, hygienic, and medico‑legal perspectives while anchoring its analysis in a broad, international literature.

  • A new framework classifying transmission by household life, care of children, and professional activities.
  • Tables tracking large data sets of chancres and epidemics to illustrate patterns of infection.
  • Discussion of prevention, prophylaxis, and legal controls related to non-venereal transmission.
