Timely detection of outbreaks allows for the effective implementation of control measures. To this end, the need to use all yellow fever surveillance mechanisms in both humans and primates should be emphasized: monitoring compatible clinical cases; surveillance of febrile icteric syndromes; epizootic surveillance; intensified monitoring of A. aegypti infestation indices in urban areas close to the disease focus; monitoring vaccination coverage; and monitoring post-vaccination events supposedly attributable to vaccination against yellow fever in affected and bordering 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.
