Update and reformat

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

New photos available

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. [1] Rees11 (talk) 23:39, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated since 2016

In 2012 the WHO wanted to eradicate it by 2020. What is the current status? The latest numbers are from 2016. 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)[reply]
