Global research trends of yellow fever: A bibliometric overview

Yellow fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic disease with high mortality transmitted by infected mosquitoes. It is caused by the yellow fever virus, a reemerging arbovirus, which is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas in South America and Africa. The recent outbreaks in Angola, Congo and Brazil represent a global concern due the lethality and the high risk of the spread of this disease in Latin America and Asia [1]. Although a vaccine is available for the current epidemic of yellow fever, the failure of mosquito control and the lack of healthcare financing in developing countries have favored its rapid expansion [1].
