The relative resistance of dengue-immune monkeys to yellow fever virus
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
Dengue-immune rhesus monkeys were challenged with a South American and two African strains of yellow fever virus. Levels of viremia were reduced as compared with control nonimmunized monkeys. The results support the hypothesis that immunity to dengue in a human population acts as a barrier to establishment of yellow fever in that population.

Overview
Yellow Fever
Yellow fever is a viral hemorrhagic disease caused by the yellow fever virus (YFV), a member of the Flaviviridae family. It is transmitted primarily by Aedes and Haemagogus mosquitoes in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and South America. After transmission through a mosquito bite, the virus initially replicates in skin-resident immune cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages. These cells then migrate to the lymph nodes, where viral replication increases, eventually leading to...
