Yellow fever case investigation in Matadi, Kongo-Central, DRC, May 2016
When investigating yellow fever cases in Matadi, a port city on the DRC-Angola border, the "urban cycle" of yellow fever transmission involving A. aegypti mosquitoes was less "urban" than anticipated. Shortly after, the dry season started, Matadi's residents were vaccinated, and the outbreak stopped. Ingelbeen, et al (2018)
