Meaning
Yellow fever is a viral disease caused by the yellow fever virus, which is transferred to humans via the bite of infected mosquitos, most notably the Aedes aegypti species. The disease is called yellow fever because one of its most obvious symptoms is the yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), which can occur in certain individuals.
Example
1. The virus may cause mild to severe symptoms. It is potential that many infected people do not exhibit any symptoms at all, or that they will just have mild illness with symptoms like fever, headache, muscle soreness, and nausea.
2. High fever, jaundice, hemorrhage, organ failure, and death are all potential results of this disease in its more severe form. There is a high mortality rate related to yellow fever with hemorrhagic manifestations, the medical term for this severe form of the disease.
Sentence
Prevention is key, and vaccination is the best way to avoid contracting yellow fever. Those who live in or will be visiting an endemic area for yellow fever should get vaccinated.
