When did yellow fever end?
I was watching a historical documentary about epidemics and it mentioned Yellow Fever. It seemed like a really big deal. When did the spread of Yellow Fever finally come to an end?

Yellow fever hasn't 'ended' entirely; it persists in tropical regions of Africa and South America. Major epidemics in urban centers outside these areas largely stopped in the early 20th century, thanks to the development of the vaccine and effective mosquito control. It's a localized, not eradicated, disease.
Yellow fever hasn't truly 'ended' globally; it's still endemic in parts of Africa and South America. However, major epidemics in North America and Europe largely subsided by the early 20th century due to better sanitation and mosquito control. For travelers, vaccination is key to avoid it in endemic zones.
Hey, Yellow Fever didn't completely 'end' everywhere, yaar. It's still present in some tropical countries. But the big, devastating epidemics in places like the US or Europe ended around the early 1900s, largely because of better understanding and the vaccine. So don't stress if you're not going to those specific places!
Yellow fever is still present in endemic regions, so it hasn't 'ended'. The big historical epidemics in other parts of the world diminished by the early 20th century with public health measures and the vaccine. Don't believe any online claims that it's completely gone; always check with a travel doctor for current risks.

My doctor informed me that while large-scale Yellow Fever epidemics in urban areas outside of endemic zones largely ceased by the early 20th century due to vaccination and vector control, the disease itself is still present in parts of Africa and South America. It's critical to take prophylactic measures if traveling to these regions.
