Yellow fever virus (YFV) is the prototype member of the genus Flavivirus, a group of viruses that are transmitted between vertebrates by arthropod vectors. The virus is found in tropical regions of Africa and South America and is transmitted to primates by mosquitoes: Aedes spp. in Africa and Haemagogus and Sabethes spp. in South America. Despite the availability of an effective vaccine, yellow fever (YF) is considered a reemerging disease owing to its increased incidence in the past 25 years. Molecular epidemiologic data suggest there are seven genotypes of YFV that are geographically separated, and outbreaks of disease are more associated with particular genotypes. In addition, the risk of urban YF, owing to transmission of the virus by Aedes aegypti, is increasing in Africa, as is the potential of urban YF returning to South America. Both present serious potential public health problems to large population centers.

黄热病:尚未克服的疾病。

黄热病病毒(YFV)是黄病毒属的原型成员,黄病毒是通过节肢动物载体在脊椎动物之间传播的一组病毒。该病毒在非洲和南美的热带地区发现,并通过蚊子传播给灵长类:伊蚊属。在非洲以及Haemagogus和Sabethes属。在南美洲。尽管可获得有效的疫苗,但由于黄热病(YF)在过去25年中发病率上升,因此被认为是一种新兴疾病。分子流行病学数据表明,YFV有7个基因型在地理上是分开的,并且疾病暴发与特定基因型更相关。此外,由于埃及伊蚊传播病毒,城市YF的风险在非洲增加,城市YF返回南美的潜力也在增加。
