SDG 3
A novel diagnostic test for syphilis
The most widely used diagnostic tests for syphilis can’t differentiate between an active infection and a past one. They’re not good at identifying early and late disease and can’t diagnose congenital syphilis. UVic’s Caroline Cameron and research partners in the US and Spain are working to change that.
Creating a vaccine for syphilis
Media release
International researchers led by University of Victoria microbiologist Caroline Cameron are developing a vaccine for syphilis, an ancient disease that is, once again, increasingly prevalent. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the US is supporting the project with US$7.8 million over five years to engineer a hybrid protein with a goal of preventing infectious and congenital syphilis.
