Recent works carried out in west and central Africa resulted in numerous yellow fever virus isolations from sylvatic mosquitoes in the forest-savanna transitional zone. This virus was also obtained from monkeys, whereas studies on sequence and duration of the observed epizootics permitted a previsional approach of the yellow fever mechanisms in the same belt, the epidemiological importance of which was stressed ("emergence zone"). In the same course of research and publications, the prevalent part of the involved mosquitoes as virus-reservoirs was constantly emphasized ("reservoir-vector"). Recent investigations on transovarial transmission and yellow fever isolations from male mosquitoes caught in the field, provide decisive support to such a conception. It can explain that epizootics may be locally observed several years in succession, despite the fact that yellow fever virus circulation seems to be fundamentally of a dynamic character. Yellow fever virus was recently obtained from ticks and tick-eggs.
近期在西非和中非开展的工作从森林-稀树草原过渡带的野生蚊子中分离出了大量黄热病毒。这种病毒也从猴子身上分离得到，而对观察到的动物流行病的序列和持续时间的研究，使得对同一地带黄热发病机制进行初步探讨成为可能，该地带的流行病学重要性得到了强调（“新兴区”）。在同一研究和发表过程中，作为病毒宿主的相关蚊子的主要作用不断得到强调（“宿主-媒介”）。近期关于经卵传播以及从野外捕获的雄蚊中分离出黄热病毒的研究，为这一概念提供了决定性支持。这可以解释为什么尽管黄热病毒传播似乎从根本上具有动态特征，但动物流行病仍可能连续数年在局部地区出现。黄热病毒最近也从蜱虫和蜱虫卵中分离得到。
