Is yellow fever a disease?

I was watching a documentary and they mentioned yellow fever. I'm not familiar with it and want to know if it's a proper disease like malaria or dengue, or something else entirely. Is yellow fever a disease?

Yes, it is a very real and serious viral disease. I got so anxious reading about it online because it can cause severe liver issues, but thankfully we have effective vaccines for it now.

Haan bhai, yellow fever ek viral disease hi hai jo machhar ke kaatne se hoti hai. India me to iska mandatory vaccine certificate lagta hai agar aap bahar se aa rahe ho na.

Yes, it is a mosquito-borne viral disease. It has nothing to do with food or diet, but staying hydrated and eating healthy always helps your body fight off any viral infections.

Yes, yellow fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic disease. It is transmitted by infected mosquitoes, and the yellow color in the name comes from the jaundice that affects some patients. Vaccines are highly effective against it.

Yes, of course it is a disease. It's a viral illness spread by mosquitoes, mostly found in parts of Africa and South America. If you are traveling there, you legally need the vaccine.
