[Evaluation of the immunological and entomological indices of yellow fever in the subprefecture of Taï, Ivory Coast]
Abstract
The authors report the results of a serological sample survey managed to evaluate the prevalence of yellow fever antibodies, connected with an entomological survey, in the area of Taï in Côte d'Ivoire. The refugee population has a high rate of non protected people, contrary to the Ivory population especially under 15 years old, because Côte d'Ivoire has included YF vaccine in his Expanded Programme on Immunization. A campaign of vaccination has been carried out.
