Aldo Castellani isolated it soon after the discovery of T. pallidum in 1905. The genus Treponema has three species: pallidum, pertenue, and carateum. Treponema pallidum is probably the most famous of the group, being that it causes syphilis. The Treponema are helically coiled organisms having a corkscrew-like shape.ldo Castellani isolated it soon after the discovery of T. pallidum in 1905.

Other human diseases caused by related Treponema pallidum include yaws (subspecies pertenue), pinta (subspecies carateum), and bejel (subspecies endemicum). The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary).ther human diseases caused by related Treponema pallidum include yaws (subspecies pertenue), pinta (subspecies carateum), and bejel (subspecies endemicum).
