Half of the pregnant or postpartum women interviewed identified as being of Hispanic Latino or Spanish origin. A study of syphilis in Australia saw figures increase by nearly from Mobile App Development Service recorded rates in . Some cases of syphilis were identified amongst the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities which make up just . of the total Australian population.
