Yellow fever virus is mainly transmitted through the bite of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti, but other mostly Aedes mosquitoes such as the tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) can also serve as a vector for this virus.
Virus žute groznice se uglavnom širi ugrizom komarca Aedes aegypti, ali i druge vrste kao što su tigrasti komarci (Aedes albopictus) mogu takođe da posluže kao vektor ovom virusu.
