Amber Barton on mass drug administration to eradicate yaws in Papua New Guinea
Phoebe Ashley-Norman of The Lancet Microbe speaks to Amber Barton about the neglected tropical disease, yaws. Efforts to eradicate yaws were first made in the 1950s through a WHO and UNICEF campaign that reduced yaws prevalence by 90%, but it remained endemic in some regions.
Global efforts involving the mass drug administration of azithromycin continue in pursuit of the WHO 2030 yaws eradication goal. In this podcast, Amber discusses how genomic epidemiology can be used to investigate the effectiveness of yaws eradication strategies, detect sublineages of yaws at higher resolution, and improve our understanding of macrolide resistance.
