The Effect of Repeated Mass Drug Administration on the Transmission of Yaws: A Genomic Epidemiology Study

2024-10-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Yaws, a neglected tropical disease caused by Treponema pallidum subspecies pertenue , has evaded eradication, in part due to a high proportion of asymptomatic cases. A cluster-randomised trial in a yaws endemic area compared repeated mass drug administration (MDA) with one round of MDA followed by targeted treatment. Repeated rounds of MDA reduced active and latent prevalence of yaws but led to...
