The progress of epidemiology and diagnosis of Yellow Fever

Abstract

Abstract: After the outbreak of yellow fever was reported in Angola 2016 (March), imported cases were firstly reported in Beijing, Shanghai and Fujian. Yellow fever remains as an important threat in sub-Saharan Africa and South America. The estimative of incidence may be low as the incompleted reported system in Africa. The diagnosis of yellow fever depends on the epidemiology, clinical manifestation, and virological tests. It is important to control yellow fever spreading by improving epidemiology monitors, virologic detection, and increasing supplies of vaccine in cooperation with regions and countries.

Key words: Yellow fever, Epidemiology, Diagnosis
