Excerpt
Yellow fever epidemics have not been reported in Angola since 1872 (Mora, 193%. Serological surveys for antibodies to arboviruses carried out in Angola in 1952 (Cambournac et al., 1955) and in 1960 (Kokernot et al., 1965) showed that the yellom fever virus was probably active in some northern areas of the country where the ecological cond~tions arc similar to those found in the forest zone of the Guinea jungle biome. However, if any cases occurred, they wen1 unnoticed in the absence of facilities for diagnosis. During the Luanda epidemic of 1971, 65 cases of yellow fever w~th4 2 deaths were officially not~iied (Wkly epidem. Rec., 1972), but these numbers probably do not reflect the extension of the epidemic as shown by the serological survey. Prompt mass vaccination and vector control by ULV spraying of malathio~> from aircraft (Rrteiro, 1971) interrupted transmission of the virus in the first week of April. The results of the virological and serological studies carr~edo ut during the ep~dem~arce reported in this paper.
