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. …
