Markov model of yaws transmission. Susceptible persons become infected at a rate dependent on the probability of transmission and the number of persons with infectious primary and secondary yaws. Without treatment, illness progresses from primary disease to either latent yaws or secondary yaws. Persons with latent yaws might relapse to generate secondary cases of infectious yaws in others.
