Accepted answer

Helpful comments above indicate that the disease was syphilis. This is backed up by secondary sources:

  • Jones's Empire of Extinction describes it as "rampant".
  • Jochelson's The Kamchadals called it "widespread".
  • Stern's Marginal Linguistic Identities reports one in three natives suffering.
  • Davidson's Geographical Pathology says it was "very prevalent".
