Abstract
Until the middle of this century, yaws was a major public health problem in the Americas Region of the World Health Organization. All countries located between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn reported cases of yaws. From 1950 to 1957, major programs for the eradication of yaws were implemented throughout the region, and yaws rapidly ceased to be a threat. As of 1983, sporadic cases continued to occur in limited geographic areas of Colombia, French Guyana, Guyana, and Suriname.
摘要
直到本世纪中叶，雅司病一直是世界卫生组织美洲区域的一个主要公共卫生问题。位于北回归线和南回归线之间的所有国家都报告过雅司病病例。1950年至1957年期间，该区域全面实施了根除雅司病的主要计划，雅司病迅速不再构成威胁。截至1983年，哥伦比亚、法属圭亚那、圭亚那和苏里南的有限地理区域仍有散发病例。
