AT least 95 people have died of yellow fever in an epidemic that broke out in central Guinea last month. The epidemic is centred in Mamou, 280km east of the capital Conakry, and has spread to Labe and Koubia in the same region, the relief agency Hopital Sans Frontiere (Hospital Without a Border) said. Yellow fever, a hemorrhagic disease carried by mosquitoes, is usually fatal and has no known cure, but vaccination is extremely effective and lasts 10 years. – AFP
