A sero-immunological survey conducted by indirect immunofluorescence technique has made it possible to determine accurately the prevalence and distribution of treponematoses in the Sahel rural region of Upper Volta. The number of carriers of antitreponemal antibodies varies from one place to another, but is particularly high in a nomad community, where prevalence attains 84.2%. The magnitude of endemic foci can also be expressed in terms of maximal titer and geometric mean of antibody titers. The seropositive values increase as a function of age, but sex is not a significant factor as regards prevalence, which would appear to depend essentially on the way of life, habits and promiscuity.
通过间接免疫荧光技术进行的血清免疫学调查，使得准确确定上沃尔特萨赫勒农村地区梅毒的流行情况和分布成为可能。抗梅毒抗体携带者的数量因地点而异，但在一个游牧社区中特别高，那里的患病率达到84.2%。地方性病灶的规模也可以用抗体滴度的最大滴度和几何平均值来表示。血清阳性值随年龄增长而增加，但性别在患病率方面不是一个重要因素，患病率似乎主要取决于生活方式、习惯和滥交情况。
