Abstract
Rabbit syphilis is caused by Treponema paraluisleporidarum and causes several cutaneous lesions. The prevalence in Mexico is not determined and there are currently no reports in pet rabbits associated with this disease. This case report describes the first case of rabbit syphilis in Mexico, confirmed by PCR and sequencing.
