    Snippet: Yellow fever (YF) has resurged in Angola and threatens to spread to other countries with relatively low YF vaccine coverage. As of 8 July 2016, YF cases have been exported from Angola to Kenya (2 cases), China (11) , and DRC (59), raising concern that YF could resurge in other populations where competent vectors are present and vaccine coverage is low. 1, 2 Indeed, DRC has already declared a YF epidemic in Kinshasa and two other provinces.

    Document: Yellow fever (YF) has resurged in Angola and threatens to spread to other countries with relatively low YF vaccine coverage. As of 8 July 2016, YF cases have been exported from Angola to Kenya (2 cases), China (11) , and DRC (59), raising concern that YF could resurge in other populations where competent vectors are present and vaccine coverage is low. 1, 2 Indeed, DRC has already declared a YF epidemic in Kinshasa and two other provinces. A broad band of sub-Saharan Africa north of Namibia and Zambia is at risk (http:// www.cdc.gov/yellowfever/maps/africa.html), as is much of the northern portion of South America (http://www.cdc.gov/yellowfever/maps/south_america.html). The global community is increasingly concerned for the risk of YF emergence in Asia, where the disease has been curiously absent despite seemingly amenable conditions.
