Talk:Yaws

Hey there, whoever cares! I was doing some studying on yaws and thought this article could do with a bit of tidy-up, and bit more clarification about the stages. If anyone who knows better doesn't like it, feel free to revert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.152.7 (talk) 23:56, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey Guys,

I am new to Wikipedia so I am unsure how to make changes, but I noticed a small error with the article. The last picture has a caption saying something like a "Doctor vaccinating an Indonesian woman against Yaws" However, there is no vaccination against Yaws. (http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs316/en/) More likely the picture is of a doctor treating a woman for Yaws. Small error but I thought it could be confusing.

:The file page says that the woman was vaccinated with neosalvarsan, and neosalvarsan is not a vaccine, so it may be Tropenmuseum's or the photographer's error. Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 13:52, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Here is a photo that could be used if anyone wants to go to the trouble of adding it. They are works of the US govt which makes them license-compatible with Wikipedia. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/medicalmuseum/4150843630/] Rees11 (talk) 23:39, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

In 2012 the WHO wanted to eradicate it by 2020. What is the current status? The latest numbers are from 2016. [https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/yaws Here] the WHO reports 80,000 suspected cases in 2018, that is higher than the 2016 number. --mfb (talk) 08:25, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
