📋Overview
Yellow Fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic disease caused by a flavivirus that is primarily transmitted through the bites of infected Aedes and Haemagogus mosquitoes. The virus is typically found in tropical regions of Africa and South America, where it circulates among human and non-human primate populations.
The clinical presentation of this infection can vary, often manifesting as a systemic illness. Public health surveillance focuses on these endemic areas to manage the risk of transmission and protect populations through established preventive protocols.
