Sylvatic yellow fever is a zoonosis associated mainly with wild animals, especially those in the genus Alouatta, that act as the source of infection. Once infected, these animals pass the disease on to humans by way of an infected mosquito belonging to the genera Aedes, Haemagogus, or Sabethes. The present study is the first report of a case of yellow fever in non-human primates (NHP) in the State of Paraná, Brazil. After the case was diagnosed, several prophylactic measures were adopted to prevent outbreaks of the disease in humans.
丛林型黄热病是一种主要与野生动物相关的动物传染病，特别是与属于长尾猴属的动物有关，这些动物是感染源。一旦被感染，这些动物会通过属于埃及伊蚊属、趋血蚊属或萨氏按蚊属的受感染蚊子将疾病传染给人类。本研究是巴西巴拉那州首例非人灵长类动物（NHP）中发生的黄热病病例报告。在确诊病例后，采取了多项预防措施以防止该疾病在人类中爆发。
