  abstract = {{I}n {N}ovember 1996, a yellow fever ({YF}) outbreak occurred near {K}affrine in the {C}entral part of {S}enegal. {T}hirty-six deaths were notified, all children under 15 years of age. {T}he {YF} diagnosis was confirmed by {MAC}-{ELISA} or by virus isolation. {T}he immune status against {YF} virus of a sample population of 449 individuals was determined, and 31 confirmed cases and 69 asymptomatic cases were reported. {D}istribution of {YF} cases and incidence rate decreased with age, while the attack rate was stable in all age groups. {L}arva indices were high and #{A}edes aegypti$ was common in all villages, causing man-to-man transmission. {T}he greatest risk of {YF} disease was the lack of immunity, especially in individuals that were less than 20 years of age. {T}he outbreak was rapidly controlled by an emergency immunization campaign. {YF} epidemics occurred in {S}enegal over two consecutive years. {T}he last outbreak reached the main road to {D}akar and the risk of spread to urban areas has increased.
