Yellow fever virus particles. Yellow fever is a tropical disease transmitted by Aedes aegypti and some other mosquitoes. It causes fever, pain and in some cases internal bleeding and potentially fatal liver damage. It is thought to kill around 30, 000 people each year, and affect many more, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. A vaccine exists, and a mass vaccination across tropical Africa began in 2009. The virus is a member of the Flaviviridae, and is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus. | |
