Answer 1

Conclusion on yellow fever :

The disease is caused by yellow fever virus and is spread by the bite of an infected female mosquito. It infects only humans, other primates, and several types of mosquitoes. In cities, it is spread primarily by Aedes aegypti, a type of mosquito found throughout the tropics and subtropics. It is common in tropical areas of the continents of South America and Africa, but not in Asia. The virus is an RNA virus of the genus Flavivirus.In most cases, symptoms include fever, chills, loss of appetite, nausea, muscle pains particularly in the back, and headaches. Symptoms typically improve within five days. In about 15% of people, within a day of improving the fever comes back, abdominal pain occurs, and liver damage begins causing yellow skin.If this occurs, the risk of bleeding and kidney problems is increased. To confirm a suspected case, blood-sample testing with polymerase chain reaction is required.

The main type of prevention of yellow fever is vaccination. A single dose can provide protection from yellow fever for up to ten years, possibly even for life. It is very important to bring awareness of the yellow fever vaccine to areas in dire need. If this can happen, then it will help the future spreading of yellow fever outbreaks.Other efforts to prevent infection include reducing the population of the transmitting mosquitoes. Many cases of yellow fever are not reported, which increases the spreading of the virus. By confirming one case of yellow fever, an investigation team can explore and hopefully terminate the source and generate an immunization process in the immediate and surrounding areas. With these precautions we can prevent another outbreak of this horrible disease.
