TL;DR: There was no evidence of YFV transmission by Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti, although the former was the most widespread species across affected municipalities, presenting an important overlap between the niches of the sylvatic vectors and the anthropic ones.

TL;DR: Following a YF outbreak, epizootic surveillance data was analyzed and YF vaccine coverage, timeliness of implementation of vaccination in unvaccinated human populations was assessed and municipalities with confirmed YF epizotics reported higher vaccine coverage than other municipalities that began vaccination.

TL;DR: Genomic sequencing of 18 YFV genomes revealed the estimated timing, source, and likely routes of yellow fever virus transmission and dispersion during one of the largest outbreaks ever registered in Brazil.

TL;DR: The monitoring of YFV by real-time RT-PCR and the epidemiological findings related to the deaths of NHPs in the south-eastern states and in the north-Eastern state of Bahia, during the outbreak of yellow fever in Brazil during 2017 and 2018 are presented.

TL;DR: The results indicate the ongoing YFV outbreak in Southeastern Brazil originated from a dissemination event from GO almost 2 years before its recognition at the end of 2016, stressing the imperative importance of the continuous monitoring of YfV to aid decision-making for effective control policies.
