An
outbreak of yellow fever has stricken the southeastern Brazilian state of Minas
Gerais, and the governor declared a state of emergency on Friday in response.
At least 10 people have died so far, and there are over 100 suspected cases in
the process of being examined.
All
reported cases thus far are sylvatic, meaning that they are associated with
mosquitoes living in the wild in areas with infected monkeys. The uptick in
infections is concerning, however, because if the infection reaches a city full
of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, it can quickly spread and outpace the capabilities
of local public health teams. The declaration of a state of emergency allows
the government to more quickly allocate responses to disease control and
surveillance.
Vaccination
efforts have ramped up in Minas Gerais in response. The Brazilian Ministry of
Health has provided over 700,000 doses of vaccine, and residents have been
lining up to receive them. Doctors have raised concerns, however, because
sylvatic yellow fever is common in this area, and the number of unvaccinated
individuals indicates a failure of preventive healthcare there.
Yellow
fever is a member of the Flaviviridae
family. It is transmitted by mosquitoes and causes a hemorrhagic fever.
Symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, and muscle pain. It can be fatal in
a small portion of cases.
