Mosquito-borne disease that causes bleeding and organ failure could erupt sparking a pandemic, warn scientists

SCIENTISTS have warned that yellow fever (YF), a deadly disease spread by mosquitoes, could cause a global pandemic.

They said spread of the blood-sucking critter that carries the hemorrhagic disease is more likely due to urban growth and increased travel.
