Sustained circulation of yellow fever virus in Cameroon: an analysis of laboratory surveillance data, 2010-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The re-emergence of yellow fever poses a serious public health risk to unimmunized communities in the tropical regions of Africa and South America and unvaccinated travelers visiting these regions. This risk is further accentuated by the likely spread of the virus to areas with potential for yellow fever transmission such as in Asia, Europe, and North America. To mitigate this risk, surveillance of yellow fever is pivotal. We performed an analysis of laboratory-based surveillance of yellow fever suspected cases in Cameroon during 2010-2020 to characterize the epidemiology of yellow fever cases and define health districts at high risk.

Method

We reviewed IgM capture ELISA and plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) test results of all suspected yellow fever pat
