A summary is presented of yaws control programs, from their initiation up to the present, in India, Indonesia, and Thailand. In all three countries, the prevalence was spectacularly reduced. From 1950 to 1961, in Java and Bali the rates fell from 11.34% to 0.72%, and comparable results were achieved in India and Thailand. In all programs, resurveys were carried out after the original mass treatment campaigns, and quite successful efforts were made to integrate the yaws control activities into more general health services. Although a small number of active cases of yaws in localized foci are still found, with the rapid expansion of primary health services and continuing surveillance for yaws and the appropriate use of selective or juvenile mass treatment approaches, it should be possible to achieve eradication in the foreseeable future.
本文总结了印度、印度尼西亚和泰国从开始至今的雅司病控制项目。在这三个国家，雅司病的患病率都大幅下降。1950年至1961年期间，爪哇岛和巴厘岛的患病率从11.34%降至0.72%，印度和泰国也取得了类似的成果。在所有项目中，在最初的大规模治疗运动之后都进行了重新调查，并相当成功地将雅司病控制活动纳入更广泛的卫生服务中。虽然在局部病灶中仍发现少量活跃的雅司病病例，但随着初级卫生服务的迅速扩展以及对雅司病的持续监测和适当使用选择性或青少年群体治疗方法，在可预见的未来应该有可能实现根除。
