Yaws in the South Pacific

S. M. Lambert

1. It was found that mass treatments of persons showing signs and symptoms of yaws did not eradicate the disease.
2. A survey of a typical South Pacific island seemed to show the reservoir of infection to be among youths to the age of seventeen who showed neither signs or symptoms, but gave a yaws history.
3. The infection rate among youths is universal so that eradication of the disease seems only possible by mass treatments of youths to age seventeen, with symptomatic treatment of others.
