Answer:

syphilis is a correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Syphilis infection is caused by Treponema pallidum and this infection is caused due to sexual activity and it is also transferred to the baby during pregnancy.
  • Treponemal and non-treponemal serological testing are used to detect Syphilis by doing blood tests.
  • The non-treponemal test is used to find out the biomarkers which are released from the cellular damage when the patient is suffering for syphilis.
  • Treponemal test is used to detect the antibodies which have cause syphilis.
  • Non treponemal is an indirect way to detect the syphilis infection, so it needs to be confirmed by doing treponemal tests.

Thus Treponemal and non-treponemal serological testing can be used to test for syphilis.
