| The yellow fever virus is an arbovirus of the flavivirus genus, and the mosquito is the primary vector. |
| This arbovirus causes a form of encephalitis and is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. |
| Previous studies examined the genetic determinants for arbovirus development within the invertebrate vector, but not transmission to a vertebrate host. |
| Ray R Arthur, project leader, viral haemorrhagic fevers, arbovirus and orthopoxvirus infections, global alert and response. |
| This arbovirus has 4 serotypes, without cross immunity, but giving permanent immunity for each of the serotypes. |
| The project will also provide an adapted spatial sampling strategy approach for the monitoring of endemic and invasive arbovirus vectors and on different trapping systems that can by used in such a monitoring systems. |
