Explanation:

During Haiti's battle for independence, Toussaint - Louverture was captured by French soldiers and died in prison. Yellow fever did affect the French troops but not in the context of directly causing the death of over 45,000 French troops in relation to Toussaint - Louverture in this specific way. Scarlet fever is not related to this event.
