Abstract
The early detection of outbreaks allows for the effective implementation of control measures. In order to achieve this, it is important to emphasize the utilization of all surveillance mechanisms for yellow fever in both humans and primates: intensifying the surveillance of A. aegypti infestation indexes in urban areas near the focus, monitoring vaccination coverage, and surveillance of postvaccination events supposedly attributable to vaccination against yellow fever in affected or adjacent areas.
 
La oportuna detección de brotes permite la implementación efectiva de medidas de control. Para ello se enfatiza la necesidad de emplear todos los mecanismos de vigilancia de la fiebre amarilla en humanos y en primates: vigilancia de casos clínicos compatibles; vigilancia de los síndromes febriles ictéricos; vigilancia de epizootias; intensificación de la vigilancia de los índices de infestación por A. aegypti en zonas urbanas cercanas al foco; monitoreo de las coberturas de vacunación; y vigilancia de eventos post-vacunación supuestamente atribuibles a la vacunación contra la fiebre amarilla en las áreas afectadas y aledañas.
