Yes, yellow fever was present during colonial times, particularly in the Americas. The disease, transmitted by mosquitoes, caused significant outbreaks in coastal cities, especially in the southern United States and the Caribbean, leading to high mortality rates. It was a major public health concern in the 17th to 19th centuries, influencing trade, settlement patterns, and public health responses in colonial societies.
