My daughter is doing a report for a 7th grade project. Any ideas? There are 200,000 estimated cases of yellow fever (with 30,000 deaths) per year. However, due to underreporting, only a small percentage of these cases are identified. Small numbers of imported cases also occur in countries free of yellow fever. Although yellow fever has never been reported from Asia, this region is at risk because the appropriate primates and mosquitoes are present.

There were lots more sources, but none of the mentioned a worldwide epidemic. If you have a year for this epidemic you might google "yellow fever XXXX" where XXXX is the year. |
