This study sought to describe the use of surveillance of non-human primates in surveillance of Sylvatic Yellow Fever and evaluate the usefulness in the prevention of human cases in Brazil. The epizootic surveillance began its records in 1999 and expanded the activity and the number of notifications after 2006, when the deaths or illnesses of nonhuman primates came to be considered an event of epidemiological relevance and therefore compulsory notification, as currently defines the ordinance 104/GM/MS/2011. 2748 epidemics were recorded in non-human primates in Brazil. The confirmation of yellow fever occurred in 8.8% of notifications. It was characteristic of yellow fever during the study period, two epizootic epidemic periods, with dispersal occurring from areas of Northern and central west with subsequent spread to the South and Southeast regions. During the study period yellow fever hit areas unvaccinated populations where the activity of epizootic surveillance helped to identify affected areas preventing human cases were recorded. The surveillance of NHP revealed the involvement of other infectious agents possibly involved in epizootics reported and highlights the potential contribution of this surveillance strategy for other infectious causes of public health importance and has been identified as seropositive for other arboviruses in primate populations in free life, demonstrating that this surveillance strategy animal may be useful to other map areas of occurrence of other arboviruses. The surveillance strategy allowed animals to detect areas of circulation of YF virus and direct vaccination campaigns, especially in outbreak situations, preventing human cases of the disease and demonstrating its utility and contribution to the monitoring of YF. This monitoring strategy can be enhanced by broadening their purposes as may possibly contribute to the surveillance of other diseases as an important interface of human and animal health.
