New data from the world health organization shows the continents make up 42% of new cases globally.

We're having trouble controlling those numbers whether it's through not enough testing, barriers to access to testing or to care. >> Reporter: researchers say a rise in substance use, lack of awareness and stigma also play a role in transmission. >> The most devastating effect of syphilis in adults is congenital syphilis from the mother to the fetus.

Provinces like manitoba went decades recording a single case. >> We didn't see syphilis for decades. And so there's a lot of physicians and healthcare providers who don't know what congenital syphilis looks like. It's important to educate them. >> Reporter: syphilis can look like other infections and sometimes show no symptoms at all.
