    <p>([CNA] = clinically non-affected (n = 20), [INI] = initial (n = 14), [MOD] = moderate (n = 7), and [SEV] = severe genital ulceration (n = 16); for stage definition see [<a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0003637#pntd.0003637.ref018" target="_blank">18</a>]), GU = genital ulceration. Anti-<i>T</i>. <i>pallidum</i> antibody quantification was investigated using the Serodia TP-PA. Kruskal-Wallis test using Dunn’s correction for multiple comparison: CNA vs. SEV mean rank diff. = -30.04, p ≤ 0.0001; CNA vs. MOD mean rank diff. = -19.95, p ≤ 0.05; INI vs. SEV mean rank diff. = -17.56, p ≤ 0.05.

    <p>Based on the test performances Espline TP is recommended as the initial screening test followed by a confirmatory test e.g. Mastablot TP IgG that has been identified as most reliable standard. Dashed lines indicate reported results, while continuous lines represent the workflow.</p

    <p>(A-C) <i>TP</i> LAMP assay involving (A) <i>TPA</i> strain Nichols with copy numbers 10E+5 to 10E+0, (B) <i>TPE</i> strain Gauthier tested in a range of 10E+6 to 10E+0 copies, and (C) <i>TEN</i> strain Bosnia A in 10E+6 to 10E+0 copy numbers. (D-E) <i>TPA</i> LAMP assay run with <i>TPA</i> strain Nichols from 10E+5 to 10E+0 copy numbers, and the same LAMP assay run with (E) <i>TEN</i> strain Bosnia A in copy numbers ranging from 10E+6 to 10E+0. (F-G) <i>TPE</i>/<i>TEN</i> LAMP assay involving (E) <i>TPE</i> strain Gauthier tested in 10E+6 to 10E+0 copy numbers, and (F) <i>TEN</i> strain Bosnia A tested in 10E+6 to 10E+0 copies. Red cross = Negative control, <i>TPA</i> strain Nichols (blue), <i>TPE</i> strain Gauthier (green), <i>TEN</i> strain Bosnia A (black); symbols represent copy numbers: circle with cross = 10E+6, hexagon = 10E+5, square turned = 10E+4, square = 10E+3, circle = 10E+2, down-pointing triangle = 10E+1, up-pointing triangle = 10E+0.</p
