The economics of mass treatment for yaws is dealt with in two papers. In the first, using a regression model, we establish benchmarks for the cost per capita of mass treatment for yaws, reviewing and synthesizing evidence on the cost of mass treatment campaigns for other NTDs. In the second, we use those benchmarks in a Markov model of the cost and costeffectiveness of the yaws eradication strategy in the known endemic countries.
