Autor(es): Monath T.P., Wilson D.C., Casals J.
Resumo: Serological studies of persons infected with yellow fever (YF) indicated that epidemic YF occurred despite a high prevalence of preexisting group B arbovirus immunity, which increased with the age of the inhabitants. The viruses involved were primarily dengue, Zika, and Wesselsbron. Patterns of responses of haemagglutination inhibiting, complement fixing, and neutralizing antibodies in primary YF and in superinfections are defined in this paper.
