Abstract
The effect of an epidemic of chickenpox on the course of an epidemic of yaws in a village of New Guinea was studied by Gart and deVries (1966) and Gart (1968). A deterministic continuous time model was used to confirm that the yaws epidemic accelerated dramatically in the month following the chickenpox epidemic. However, by the nature of the model, no statistical tests are possible.Keywords
