ABSTRACT
Sylvatic yellow fever outbreaks in Trinidad have been known to occur since the 17th century. During 1988-89 an outbreak of yellow fever occurred with the virus being isolated from monkeys and mosquitoes. This article summarizes the vector control operations adopted to prevent urban transmission of the yellow fever virus by Aedes aegypti Linn. No human cases of yellow fever were detected either in the rural or urban areas.
