Yellow fever in the Golgi apparatus by the host protein furin, which cleaves prM to M. This releases E from the complex which can now take its place in the mature, infectious virion. 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.
