The most recent outbreak of sylvatic yellow fever (YF) has caused a significant number of human cases and epizootics in non-human primates (NHP) in the Atlantic Forest region of southeastern Brazil, including notifications in populated areas, before considered free of the disease. In these areas, malaria plasmodia also circulate between PNH and humans and, like the YF virus, are transmitt…
The Yellow Fever (YF) in Brazil and in other South countries was basically restricted to the wild cycle, being mainly carried by mosquitoes of the genera Haemagogus and Sabethes. Epizootic outbreaks of this disease in non-human primates have been recorded with some periodicity, which can vary from five to ten years, preceding the emergence of human cases in surrounding rural areas. In the…
In Brazil, malaria occurs into two distinct epidemiological patterns: malaria transmitted in the Amazon region mainly by Anopheles darlingi mosquitoes and malaria transmitted in the Atlantic Forest region, mainly by Anopheles cruzii mosquitoes. Recent studies have found high prevalence of humans exposed to Plasmodium among blood donors in the city of São Paulo metropolitan area, as well a…
Temperature and rainfall are important drivers of mosquito abundance and have been used in previous studies as the basis for predictive models. To elucidate patterns of mosquito population dynamics in urban environments, the variation in mosquito abundance over a year and its association with climatic variables wereanalyzed. The Akaike information criterion was used to analyze the correla…

The Yellow Fever is an infection disease, caused by Haemagogus and Sabethes mosquitoes genus. Although, studies that seek to individually investigate taxonomic and epidemiological aspects of the Sabethes subgenus are scarce, despite their assoaciation with non-human primates (NHP), the main Yellow Fever Virus (YFV) reservoirs. Efforts of this magnitude are important because, in addition t…
Triatomines are vectors of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, which has a wide distribution in the Neotropical region. In Chile, there are four species of vectors for this zoonosis, namely Mepraia gajardoi, M. spinolai, M. parapatrica and Triatoma infestans. In addition to the vectorial importance in the transmission of Chagas disease, triatomines ar…
The current sylvatic yellow fever outbreak in southeastern Brazil has caused a significant number of deaths in humans and non-human primates, including notifications in areas previously considered free of the disease, such as the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo. The development of models to simulate and predict the transmission and dispersal dynamics of the yellow fever virus may be an a…
Yellow Fever (YF) is an infectious disease caused by Yellow Fever Virus (YFV) and carried by mosquitoes of the Culicidae family. In Brazil and other South American countries, it has been restricted to the wild cycle, with the last urban epidemic in Brazil occurred in 1928, associated with the Aedes aegypti. In South and Southeastern Brazil, the species Haemagogus leucocelaenus has been im…

The triatomines are vectors of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, etiologic agent of Chagas disease, which are widely distributed mainly in the Americas. In Chile, there are four species of vectors of this disease, namely, Mepraia gajardoi, M. spinolai, M. parapatrica and Triatoma infestans. In addition to the vector importance in the transmission of Chagas disease, triatomines are biologic…
Since 2014, Brazil has experienced the largest sylvatic yellow fever outbreak ever recorded in the country, with a high number of human cases and epizootics in non-human primates. The yellow fever vírus (YFV) has expanded from its endemic area in the Amazon basin to Brazilian Atlantic Coast, spreading through highly fragmented landscapes. This research project proposes modeling the transm…
