Enzootic transmission of yellow fever virus, Venezuela

Emerg Infect Dis. 2015 Jan;21(1):99-102. doi: 10.3201/eid2101.140814.

Abstract

Phylogenetic analysis of yellow fever virus (YFV) strains isolated from Venezuela strongly supports YFV maintenance in situ in Venezuela, with evidence of regionally independent evolution within the country. However, there is considerable YFV movement from Brazil to Venezuela and between Trinidad and Venezuela.
