ABSTRACT
This small monograph is more than simply a collection of papers about yellow fever, it is also an expression of the origins of the Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC). Although many early accounts recorded in these pages cannot be scientifically authenticated, research this century suggests a cyclic pattern of epizootics with occasional outbreaks of human disease. The natural cycle of the disease involves monkeys and mosquitoes but mysteries remain to be elucidated, such as where does the virus go between epizootics. Transovarial transmission among mosquitoes may be important, while other mammalian and insect species might also be involved. Such questions are raised in these pages
