anyone who isn't immune to yellow fever or hasn't received a vaccination is susceptible to yellow fever if bitten by a mosquito that has bitten a monkey or person carrying the virus. there was a massive yellow fever epidemic in 1793 in Philadelphia where over 5,000 people died and were thrown into ditches so that it wouldn't be spread around. Then another one in Memphis in 1878 though not limited to those two cities. it is found all over the world and is responsible for 30,000 deaths annually in unvaccinated regions.

When did the first doctor dieginos a person for yellow fever?

The first successful vaccination against yellow fever was developed by Dr. Max Theiler in the 1930s, but prior to that, yellow fever was a significant public health threat in the 19th century. The first known deaths from yellow fever can be traced back to outbreaks in the late 17th century, particularly in places like the Americas. However, the specific question regarding "doctor dieginos" seems unclear or may contain a typographical error, as there is no widely recognized historical figure by that name associated with yellow fever.
