Prevention of Yellow Fever to Children
Abstract: We can examine the potential for international travelers to spread yellow fever virus to cities around the world. Using a global ecological model of dengue virus transmission, we predicted the suitability of cities in non-autochthonic areas for yellow fever transference. We obtained information on national entry requirements for yellow fever vaccination at travelers’ destination cities. In 2016, 45.2 million international air traveler’s dead from yellow fever-endemic areas of the globally. …

An exploration of Zika virus eruption
Abstract: Zika virus (ZIKV) is a recently rising relative of the Flaviviridae family and associated to dengue (DENV) and Chikungunya (CHIVKV). ZIKV infection was distinguished by mild disease with fever, headache, rash, arthralgia and conjunctivitis, with unprecedented association with Guillain–Barre Syndrome (GBS) and microcephaly. Nevertheless, since the end of 2015, a rise in the number of GBS related cases and an astonishing number of microcephaly in fetus and neonates in Brazil …
