History of Epidemiological Aspects of Yellow Fever

Wilbur G Downs
PMCID: PMC2596468  PMID: 6758368

Abstract

This review attempts to follow the trail of the development of epidemiological aspects and concepts of yellow fever and yellow fever transmission (vectors, vertebrate hosts, spacing of epidemic outbreaks) with less emphasis on well-documented early history and more emphasis on epidemiological problems still remaining, plus discussion of possible means of resolving certain of these problems.
