Yellow Fever...?

According to the Associated Press, yellow fever is back in Latin America...for the first time in six decades.

The mosquito disease spreads quickly in "suburbs and cities" and according to the World Health Organization's yellow fever expert, "vaccinations are needed to stem the outbreak." So far, there have been 9 cases in Paraguay, three of which ended fatally. Because most urban Latin Americans have no immunity to yellow fever, it heightens the potential threat.

Finally, the article concludes by reporting that the last case of yellow fever in Latin America was in Brazil during the 1940's.
