Yellow fever is caused by yellow fever virus (YFV), an enveloped RNA virus 40–50 nm in width, the type species and namesake of the family Flaviviridae. [10] It was the first illness shown to be transmissible by filtered human serum and transmitted by mosquitoes, by American doctor Walter Reed around 1900. [32]
The genomes of these flaviviruses show close synteny with that of the flavivirus type species, yellow fever virus. [7] One flavivirus, the Wenzhou shark flavivirus , infects both Pacific spadenose sharks ( Scoliodon macrorhynchos ) and Gazami crabs ( Portunus trituberculatus ) with overlapping ranges, raising the possibility of a two-host ...

In South America the known mosquito vectors of yellow fever are in the genera Haemagogus and Sabethes. In Argentina, the species that has been shown to carry the yellow fever virus (YFV) is Sabethes albiprivis. [5] In 2008–2009 there was a yellow fever outbreak among a brown howler study group in the protected Misiones, El Piñalito ...
