Yellow fever
Prevention:
Vaccination is the only sure prevention for yellow fever. Use of mosquito repellents, full covering clothing and screened housing will decrease exposure risk. Mosquito control has decreased the risk in countries where the disease was once prevalent. The risks remain however, because the mosquito has increasing resistance to insecticides. DDT is very effective, but production has been discontinued in many areas.
