The yellow fever virus enters the epithelial cells of the mosquito and makes its way to the salivary glands. From there, every time the mosquito takes a blood meal, the virus leaves the mosquito vector and enters the bloodstream of the bitten person.

"Yellow fever" is caused by the Flavivirus, a virus which is spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. humans and monkeys are most commonly affected. When one of these mosquitoes bites someone who is already infected with yellow fever, the virus goes into the mosquito's bloodstream and moves around its body before it settles in the mosquito's salivary glands. Because it now resides in the salivary glands, when this mosquito bites another human or monkey, the virus then goes into that person or monkey's bloodstream, causing Yellow fever.
