Abstract
Treponemal infections in wild European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) from The Netherlands were diagnosed by means of serological tests for human syphilis and histological demonstration of spirochetes by the Bosma-Steiner silver impregnation method in histological sections of skin lesions. The treponeme should probably be classified as "Treponema paraluisleporis."
