Additional Information:
|
YFV is a mosquito-borne virus, which circulates in natural transmission cycles between mosquitoes and temporary amplifiers, humans and monkeys. Yellow fever (YF) is endemic in tropical regions of Africa and South America and poses a serious health risk to travelers to these areas.2,3,4 Vector-control strategies that were once successful for the elimination of YFV from many regions have faltered, leading to the reemergence of the disease.5 Currently, there is no effective drug treatment for YF; however, live-attenuated 17D YF vaccines have demonstrated high rates of effectiveness and good safety profiles.6,7,8
