The objective of this study was to carry out and analyze the actions taken to control the yellow fever epizootic in non-human primates, recorded in November 2007 to March 2010 in Aparecida de Goiania, Goias Brazil. The primary epidemiological information on the disease was obtained from the Municipal Health Secretariat, by the local Center for Zoonosis Control. Data were analyzed from the outbreak reports. In A descriptive study, the control actions, such as blocking vaccine against yellow fever by the municipal health department and the evaluation of physical barriers to contain the virus, were verified. The inspection of 58 dead nonhuman primates, representing 100% of the animals found in the period previously mentioned, was used. From these, 34.48% (20/58) were able to have samples collected, according to the specifications of the Epizooty Handbook Of this amount (58), 27.59% (16/58) of monkeys were collected and3.45% (2/58) presented positivity for yellow fever virus.
By evaluating the actions that contributed to the epidemiological assessment at the city, it is emphasized the occurrence of three deaths among genera and species of nonhuman primates, Alouatta caraya, Cebus apella and Callithrix spp, with the circulation of yellow fever virus in two cities with epidemiological distinct characteristics. The areas which showed the highest incidence of deaths of monkeys had also the greatest degree of urban growth, characterized by recent environmental changes and residual maintenance of natural areas.
