Yellow fever virus (YFV) circulates in a sylvatic cycle between non-human primates (NHPs) and arboreal mosquitoes in Brazil. Passive monitoring of ill or deceased NHPs is a key component of the Brazilian yellow fever (YF) surveillance program. Samples from NHPs carcasses are usually suitable for molecular tests but not for serological assays.

- Yellow fever virus (YFV) causes yellow fever (YF) in both humans and non-human primates, with neotropical primates being key indicators of YFV spread.
- Brazil experienced a major outbreak of YF from 2017-2018, prompting research to see if YFV continued to circulate in non-human primates (NHP) after the outbreak ended.
- Between 2021 and 2023, testing of NHP carcasses in Minas Gerais revealed ongoing YFV presence, particularly in urban areas, indicating a potential risk for reestablishing the urban transmission cycle of the virus.
