The 1870 Barcelona yellow fever epidemic was an epidemic that took place in the Spanish city of Barcelona in 1870.

History
Barcelona was known as a commercial port city with a harbor that connected to various cities and countries. The harbor was crucial for trade, exchange of ideas, and overall contact with the foreign world. Yellow fever was one of the diseases the people of Barcelona suffered from due to such contact. The yellow fever virus was transmitted via a species of invasive mosquitos called Aedes aegypti. The Aedes aegypti species was brought to the city by a ship that had arrived from Cuba. The yellow fever epidemic occurred in the second half of the year 1870, from August to the end of the year.  (You could say "The yellow fever occurred during late 1870, beginning in August.")  There were a total of 1235 deaths'''. Of the deaths, 468 were women while 767 were men.'  (There were a total of 1235 deaths; 468 women and 767 men.) '' Half a century earlier, another epidemic of the same disease had taken place, which had killed an estimated 3,251, 6,244, or more than 8,000 people.  (You could move this information to the "Similar Incidents" section and elaborate a little more on it.)  The 1870 epidemic ended due to the city following hygienic measures and the mosquitos  (mosquitoes)  not surviving Barcelona's cold weather conditions in December 1870.

Similar Incident
There was, also in the 19th century, another outbreak ( that)  had occurred in Wales.  The outbreak in Wales had   (this outbreak)  occurred due to the arrival of a boat filled with infected passengers and Aedes aegypi mosquitos. Those mosquitos  (mosquitoes)  are found to be great carriers of the yellow fever virus and that they can lead to larger outbreaks throughout other places in Europe.
