Resumen
Yellow fever (YF) is a severe, infectious, but non-communicable arboviral hemorrhagic disease. In the
last decades, yellow fever virus (YFV) infections have been prevalent in endemic areas in Brazil, afecting human and
non-human primate (NHP) populations. Monitoring of NHP infection started in 1999, and reports of epizootic diseases
are considered important indicators of viral transmission, particularly in relation to the sylvatic cycle. This study pre‑
sents the monitoring of YFV by real-time RT-PCR and the epidemiological fndings related to the deaths of NHPs in the
south-eastern states and in the north-eastern state of Bahia, during the outbreak of YF in Brazil during 2017 and 2018.
