Abstract
Between January 2016 and December 2017, seven countries and territories of the Region of the Americas reported confirmed cases of yellow fever: the Plurinational State of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, and Suriname. The number of human cases and epizootics collectively reported in this period in the Region of the Americas is the highest observed in decades. The observed increase is as much related to an ecosystem favorable to the dissemination of the virus as to the unimmunized populations.
 
Entre enero de 2016 y diciembre de 2017, siete países y territorios de la región de las Américas han notificado casos confirmados de fiebre amarilla: El Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia, Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana Francesa, Perú y Suriname. Durante este periodo, se notificó el mayor número de casos humanos y epizootias registrada en la Región de las Américas en décadas. El incremento observado está relacionado tanto al ecosistema favorable que propició la diseminación del virus así como a la existencia de población no inmunizada.
