    Description

    What part do non-human primates, like monkeys and apes, play in the transmission of yellow fever? This episode focuses on monitoring and response work in the rainforests of Argentina, where yellow fever is present among howler monkeys - and can be passed on to humans. Dr María Morales and Dr Silvina Goenaga are from Argentina’s Institute for Human Viral Diseases (INEVH). Sound effects in this episode are obtained from zapsplat.com

    Yellow fever is one of the world’s most deadly diseases. If you think it’s a disease that can only be found in tropical climates, think again. Even with a single shot vaccine, the risk of outbreaks of yellow fever is significant and growing globally. EYE on Yellow Fever is a ten-part series that takes you inside a concerted global effort to ensure that yellow fever does not become the next big global health threat. EYE on Yellow Fever is a series by the Eliminate Yellow Fever Epidemics (EYE) Strategy, which operates in 40 countries with over 50 partners, including the World Health Organization, Gavi - the Vaccine Alliance, UNICEF, the US Centre for Disease Control and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
