A cargo of copper ore from Cuba was discharged at Swansea in mid-September 1865, during a spell of exceptionally hot weather. A small number of mosquitoes infected with the yellow fever virus, disembarking at the same time, established an epidemic of yellow fever in the town. In the next 25 days, at least 27 inhabitants were infected and 15 of them died. The quality of contemporary observation and recording has encouraged a re-examination of the events in the light of knowledge unavailable at the time. It cannot be assumed that the episode will not be repeated.
1865年9月中旬，一批来自古巴的铜矿货物在斯旺西卸货，当时正值一段异常炎热的天气。与此同时，一小群感染了黄热病病毒的蚊子上岸，在该镇引发了黄热病疫情。在接下来的25天里，至少有27名居民被感染，其中15人死亡。当代观察和记录的质量促使人们根据当时无法获得的知识对这些事件进行重新审视。不能假定这样的事件不会再次发生。
