In the poor Bosnia, in the early 20(th) century endemic syphilis was widespread. Combating this disease entailed the necessity of etiology research, diagnosis and clinical nature of the disease, as well as the insight into the epidemiological image of this unresolved health problem. Thanks to the visionary, the enthusiasm and persistence of the expert team of doctors from that time in Croatia, School of Public Health and the Rockefeller Foundation as financial support, conditions were created to conduct population monitoring and research called "survey". The team of experts from Croatia and Bosnia led by Dr. Ante Vuletic began this important public health intervention in Central Bosnia underneath the mountain Vlasic 1934. In villages of mountain Vlasic people were living in very difficult social and unsanitary conditions. "Interviewers" worked in makeshift clinics in the rural schools Opare, Rankovici, Vitovlje Mehorica, Turbe, Bila and Gornji Vakuf. A hundred years later, a team of university professors from the School of Public Health "Andrija Stampar" led by Professor Silvije Viletic followed the footsteps of century "survey" on Vlasic in the summer of 2014. They determined that with the integrated approach to population monitoring and testing endemic syphilis in Bosnia was successfully suppressed.
在20世纪初贫穷的波斯尼亚，地方性梅毒广泛流行。抗击这种疾病需要对病因、疾病的诊断和临床特征进行研究，还要深入了解这个尚未解决的健康问题的流行病学情况。得益于当时克罗地亚医生专家团队的远见卓识、热情和执着，以及公共卫生学院和洛克菲勒基金会作为资金支持，才创造了开展名为“调查”的人口监测和研究的条件。由安特·武莱蒂奇博士率领的来自克罗地亚和波斯尼亚的专家团队于1934年在弗拉希奇山脚下的波斯尼亚中部开始了这项重要的公共卫生干预行动。在弗拉希奇山的村庄里，人们生活在非常艰苦的社会和不卫生条件下。“访谈员”们在农村学校奥帕雷、兰科维奇、维托夫列·梅霍里察、图尔贝、比拉和戈尔尼瓦库夫的临时诊所里工作。一百年后，由西尔维耶·维莱蒂奇教授率领的“安德里亚·斯坦帕尔”公共卫生学院的大学教授团队在2014年夏天追随了在弗拉希奇山上进行的百年“调查”的脚步。他们确定，通过综合的人口监测和检测方法，波斯尼亚的地方性梅毒已被成功抑制。
