Yellow Fever

Published February 15, 2017 Curated Collections

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases Editor-in-Chief Serap Aksoy has assembled a collection of previously-published PLOS NTDs Yellow Fever research articles that are of interest considering the 2015-2016 outbreaks of Yellow Fever in Africa and Brazil--part of a global rise in vector borne diseases. For more information on the recent outbreaks, please see the February 2017 Speaking of Medicine blogpost by Editors-in-Chief Serap Aksoy and Peter Hotez.
