The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Thursday said a new case of yellow fever had been detected in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.
This is contained in a statement released by the organisation in Kinshasa.
It said that the case was confirmed on Wednesday after a test by the Pasteur Institute in Dakar and the National Institute of Biomedical Research.
It said that the case originated from a local mosquito and therefore, was not an imported case from neighbouring Angola.
