Question

What is the vector of yellow fever

Answer 1

Vector: Aedes mosquitoes, including A. aegypti, A. africanus, A. simpsoni, A. furcifer, A. luteocephalus, and A. albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito). Urban yellow fever is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. A. aegypti becomes infectious 2 weeks after feeding on a viremic host. Jungle, or sylvatic, yellow fever is transmitted by Haemagogus and other mosquitoes (such as Masoni africana) of the forest canopy (tree-hole breeding mosquitoes). These mosquitoes acquire the virus from viremic primates. The yellow-fever virus can also be passed from one mosquito generation to another via the mosquito eggs.
