   Yellow Fever Yellow fever is a virus transmitted by the bite of the female Aedes aegypti mosquito, and Memphis was devastated by it in the 1870s. Virulent fevers rocked the city, and thousands of fleeing citizens took the carrier mosquito with them to towns all over West Tennessee — staggering losses were experienced in Collierville, Paris, Brownsville, Milan, and Martin.

Although Memphis had been exposed to yellow fever in 1828, 1855, and 1867, nothing prepared the city for the devastation the fever brought during the 1870s.
