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.

Morphology (return to top). T. solium is a flattened ribbon like tapeworm that is white in color. Although it is very morphologically similar to the T. saginata, T. solium is slightly shorter and have a modified scolex. The attachment organ, or scolex, has 4 large suckers with a double row of hooks. The adult tape worm grows to be about 6mm in width and 2-7 m in length with about 800 segments called proglottids. As the tapeworm grows in the intestine, mature proglottis called gravid proglottis will be casted off out of the human body.
