    Yellow fever outbreak in Angola resulted in 355 people infected and 159 deaths. Symptoms of yellow fever include muscle aches, nausea, fever, vomiting, headaches, yellowing of the eyes and skin, weakness, and back pain. The virus spreads primarily through mosquito and animal bites, so prevention focuses on eliminating standing water where mosquitoes can breed and wearing protective clothing and repellent. There is currently no treatment for the virus itself, but vaccination and symptom treatment are available.
