  abstract = {{Y}ellow fever was transported during the slave trade in the 15th and 16th centuries from {A}frica to the {A}mericas where the virus encountered favorable ecological conditions that allowed creation of a sustainable sylvatic cycle. {D}espite effective vector control and immunization programs for nearly a century, yellow fever epidemics reemerged in many {L}atin {A}merican countries, particularly {B}razil. {T}he emergence or reemergence of vector-borne diseases encompasses many intricate factors. {Y}ellow fever outbreaks occur if at least three conditions are fulfilled: the introduction of the virus into a non-immune human community, presence of competent and anthropophilic vectors and insufficiency of prevention and/or adequate management of the growing outbreak. {O}n the other hand, two weapons are available to constrain yellow fever: vector control and immunization. {I}n contrast, yellow fever is absent from {A}sia and the {P}acific despite the presence of the vector and the susceptibility of human populations to the virus. {B}ased on a review of the global history of yellow fever and its epidemiology, the authors deliver some recommendations for improving the prevention of epidemics.},
