Abstract

Yellow fever virus (YFV) is belonging to flaviviridae family which was identified as the causative agent of Yellow fever (YF), acute viral hemorrhagic disease which was first time notified by International health regulation (IHR), globally. Initially YF considered to partial control for decades but now increasing globally with the risk of local epidemic outbreaks. This review represented the occurrence of YF diseases in the 21th century and the remotely sensed satellite data are used to define climatic limits within a discriminant analytical model frame work. The study also showed the potentially co-occurrence and global epidemiology of risk maps for this disease in Africa and South East Asia in the framework of the ecological and historical forces. The aim of this study is to portray attention to this rising epidemic and to provide force for the necessary public health response.
