Concept note-1: -Yellow fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. The “yellow” in the name refers to the jaundice that affects some patients. Symptoms of yellow fever include fever, headache, jaundice, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue.
Concept note-2: -Typhoid fever was the major killer of American soldiers during the Spanish-American War, running rampant through the national encampments. Every regiment in the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Army Corps developed typhoid fever.
Concept note-3: -Yellow fever was also called the “black vomit” because one of the common symptoms is hemorrhagic bleeding in the stomach. Patients vomit this blood, which has the consistency and color of coffee grounds. It was also called “yellow jack” since areas under quarantine traditionally displayed a yellow flag.
Concept note-4: -The yellow fever epidemic was over. After World War II, the world had DDT in its arsenal of mosquito control measures, and mosquito eradication became the primary method of controlling yellow fever.
