Yellow Fever is a serious *viral* infection spread by infected mosquitoes, primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and South America. It is an acute hemorrhagic disease that can cause *jaundice*, giving it its name, and can be life-threatening. Track Yellow Fever activity and outbreaks specific to Louisiana.
Open Web AppYellow Fever has caused devastating epidemics for centuries, significantly impacting human history and major construction projects like the Panama Canal. In the early 20th century, research led by Walter Reed confirmed that mosquitoes transmit the virus. A highly effective vaccine was later developed in the 1930s by Max Theiler.
Yellow Fever is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected *Aedes* and *Haemagogus* mosquitoes. These mosquitoes acquire the virus by feeding on infected humans or non-human primates (monkeys). The disease cannot be spread directly from person to person.
