Yellow fever is an insect-borne tropical disease caused by an arbovirus (Flavivirus genus) - this is a small RNA virus that is transmitted by the bite of mosquitoes (Aedes and Haemogogus species).
The disease is commonly underreported in the affected areas since the symptoms may be easily misinterpreted (2).
Yellow fever can reappear with outbreaks after long intervals of apparent quiescence (1).
