Medical experts are worried that yellow fever and its feared “black vomit” may re-emerge in the American South in the near future.
The viral illness is transmitted by mosquitoes and rampaged throughout the South and Mississippi Valley for nearly 100 years starting from 1820 to 1905. In 1853, a yellow fever epidemic killed 11,000 people in New Orleans, which at the time was about 10% of the city’s population.
Hotez and fellow researcher Angelle Desiree LaBeaud, MD, of Stanford University, reported the prediction for yellow fever’s re-emergence in Thursday’s edition ofThe combination of global warming, urbanization, and “shifting patterns of human migration” are driving predictions that show infections and viruses transmitted by mosquitoes will rise dramatically in the coming years, Hotez and LaBeaud wrote. The threat is greatest in southeastern parts of the U.S.
“In this phase, people are likely to develop jaundice , dark urine, and abdominal pain with vomiting,” the WHO explains. “Bleeding can occur from the mouth, nose, eyes, or stomach. Half of the patients who enter the toxic phase die within 7-10 days.”
