The World Health Organization on Thursday said that more than 400 people have died from yellow fever in Africa and over 3,000 cases reported in Angola.

Few more cases have also been reported in Kenya and China (carried by travellers). However, Uganda has had 30 cases and witnessed seven deaths.

WHO also said "Seven countries (Brazil, Chad, Colombia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Peru and Uganda) are currently reporting yellow fever outbreaks or sporadic cases not linked to the Angolan outbreak,".

WHO and other groups are trying to help Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo fight worsening outbreaks of the deadly virus.

However, they say it will be difficult to control the spread of the virus.
"As the borders are porous with substantial cross border social and economic activities, further transmission cannot be excluded," they said.

Yellow fever is carried by mosquitoes which can be mild. It's a relative of dengue, Zika and chikungunya but is far deadlier. Symptoms include fever,
headache, jaundice, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. It can also cause similar bleeding
symptoms.
