Yellow fever is a non-contagious infectious disease, highly lethal, transmitted by the Aedes, Haemagogus and Sabethes.
Descriptive retrospective study of the yellow fever cases in Amazonas, between 1996 and 2009.
Forty two cases of yellow fever were confirmed, with 30 deaths, 10% of which were foreigners.
The presence of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in both rural Amazonas and its capital demonstrates the dispersion of these vectors and underscores the need for better and continuous epidemiological and entomological control.
黄热病是一种非传染性传染病，高度致命，由埃及伊蚊、趋血蚊属和萨氏按蚊传播。
对亚马逊地区 1996 年至 2009 年间的黄热病病例进行描述性回顾性研究。
共确诊 42 例黄热病，死亡 30 例，其中 10%为外国人。
在亚马逊农村和首府都存在埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊，这表明这些病媒的传播范围很广，因此需要更好和持续的流行病学和昆虫学控制。
