Hey, I'm Yellow Fever Virus.
I am from family Flaviviridae.
I am in Africa and South America.
I am an arborvirus.
This means I am carried in mosquitoes and ticks.
I travel in their saliva.
Like many of my arborvirus friends, I give you fever and haemorrhage.
Then headache and chills.
I make you yellow with jaundice.
I have two different homes to grow in.
My urban life cycle hangs around houses.
My sylvatic cycle uses monkeys in the jungle.
Oh well, there is a vaccine against me.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on December 1, 2009, that 12 million people will receive the Yellow Fever vaccination in West African countries. This is a breakthrough, the medical world could not have done, if it was not for the work organizations, yourself conducted. Here, at Disease.com (a non profit, website) would like to aid in spreading awareness for Yellow Fever. In the past, Disease.com (a website dedicated to the prevention and treatment of diseases) has worked with several elite non profit organizations with great success. If you could, please list us as a resource or host our social book mark button, it would be much appreciated. Lets abolish Yellow Fever, for good.If you want more information on that please email me back with the subject line as your URL.
