BEWARE!

Within this house is a deadly creature. So lethal that it is responsible for the deaths of over 5,000 people in 1793 Philadelphia Epidemic. What is this creature you ask? None other than the small but destructive mosquito infected with the yellow fever virus. You must search ths house, find the mosquito, and squash it before it finds its way out and spreads yellow fever. Make sure to search all areas of the house!

Search the house for the mosquito...

Read this passage:"Until his death in 1907, Dr. James Carroll continued to search for the yellow fever germ. Although his efforts were unsuccessful, Carroll utlimately came to believe that the disease is caused by a microbe that is much smaller than bacteria" (5).

Read the passage:"In 1936, Dr. Max Theller developed a vaccine that safely kept humans from getting the disease" (8)

Read the passage: "Additional investigation uncovered more facts and sceintists soon realized that a mosquito must bite a yellow fever patient in the first three days of the illness in order to pick up the infection... They also leanred that the virus may have to remain in the insect's body for as much as seventeen days before the bug can infect a person with the disease" (8).

Paragraph 13: "Last year, it did not quite reach the cities, - cases faded out by July as cooler weather set in. Global health authorities sighed with relief hoping intense vaccination efforts would snuff the outbreak."

Paragraph 18: "Brazil's public health response was very delayed," said Dr. Karin A. Nielsen, an infectious disease expert at the University of California, who does research in Brazil."

In early 2016, the yellow fever virus broke out of its usual pattern: limited spread by forest mosquito species from monkeys to loggers, hunters, farmers and other residents of the Amazon basin. Instead, the virus began moving south and east, following forest corridors inhabited by monkeys toward the big coastal cities and triggering a public health emergency. Last year, it did not quite reach the cities—cases faded out by July as cooler weather set in. Global health authorities sighed with relief, hoping intense vaccination efforts would snuff the outbreak. “There was lab-confirmed transmission during the winter,” he said. “So the amount of virus around at the beginning of the summer was already huge. The resurgent virus is now lunging forward more than a mile a day, he said, and efforts to stop an epidemic have become a race between the virus and the vaccinators. This year’s caseload is 26 percent higher than at this time last year, and with more hot, rainy months ahead, the figure is destined to increase. Brazil makes its own vaccine through a subsidiary of its Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, and much of this year’s chaos could have been averted if the government had acted faster, critics said.
