Umkhuhlane omthubi, isifo esibangelwa yintsholongwane esibangelwa yi intsholongwane yomkhuhlane , ichaphazela abantu abangama-200,000 ngonyaka. Nangona esi sifo yaqala e-Afrika, uqhambuko lwenzeke kude njengePeninsula yaseYucatan nditsho naseFiladelfia, apho abantu abangama-5 000 babhujiswa ngexesha lesifo esinye ngenkulungwane ye-18.

Ngokwesiqhelo, umkhuhlane otyheli ubangela, ukugodola, isicaphucaphu, ukugabha, iintlungu zemisipha, kwaye-ewe ngumkhuhlane. Ngokuqinisekileyo ayisiyondlela emnandi yokusebenzisa nayiphi na indawo yohambo lwakho. Ngelixa uninzi lwabantu luphulukana emva kweentsuku ezi-3 okanye ezi-4, abanye banamava wesibini wokubandezeleka, okunokuzisa i-jaundice (kungoko igama), iintlungu zesisu kunye nokugabha, nokopha emlonyeni, empumlweni nasemehlweni. Kwiimeko apho umkhuhlane omthubi sele ugqibile ukudlula kweli nqanaba, umngcipheko wokufa umalunga neepesenti ezingama-50 .

Emuva emini, i-yellow fever yayingeyiyo ihlaya. Uqhambuko olunye lwalunamandla okubhubhisa amaqela amakhulu abantu kwiindawo ezincinci, nangona unobangela wokugula ungazange ubekho koogqirha. Kwakungekho kude kube li-1900s apho babezimisele ukuba ne-yellow fever yayisasazwa ziingcongconi.

Ugonyo lweCesina eMthubi

Ngamaziko oLawulo lweNtsholongwane kunye noThintelo, akukho lunyango yomkhuhlane omthubi. Endaweni yoko, abaguli baphathwa ngokusekwe kwiimpawu zabo (ezichazwe apha ngasentla), nakwimbali yabo yakutshanje yokuhamba.

Ngelixa isitofu sokugonya sicetyiswa kulo naluphi na uhambo oluya e-Afrika okanye eMzantsi Melika, ezinye iindlela ezibalulekileyo zothintelo zibandakanya iminatha yengcongconi, ukunxiba iimpahla ezigubungela umzimba wonke, kunye nokusebenzisa into eyogxotha izinambuzane ene-DEET.

(Abahambi abasoloko betyelela iindawo ezisemngciphekweni kufuneka bafumane i-booster shot iminyaka eli-10.)

Isitofu sokugonya singanikwa iintsana ezisencinci kwiinyanga ezili-9, kwaye kuyacetyiswa nakubani na ohamba aye iindawo ezithile eAfrika nakuMzantsi Merika.

Njengoninzi lwezitofu zokugonya, kufuneka ixesha elininzi ukuze isitofu sisebenze emzimbeni wakho, kwaye kuyacetyiswa ukuba ucwangcise ixesha lokugonya kwisithuba seentsuku ezili-10 ngaphambi kohambo.

Isitofu sokugonya se-yellow fever sinikezelwa kuphela kumaziko akhethiweyo okugonya, kwaye sinokuxabisa phakathi kwe- $ 150 kunye ne- $ 350, kuxhomekeke kubukho. Amazwe athile , kubandakanya iGhana, iLiberia, neSierra Leone, bade bafune ubungqina bokugonywa kubo bonke abahambi xa befika- kwaye eso satifikethi sifunyenwe kugqirha wakho emva kokuba unikwe ifoto.
