  abstract = {{T}he case-fatality rate of yellow fever virus ({YFV}) is one of the highest among arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). {A}lthough historically, the {A}sia-{P}acific region has remained free of {YFV}, the risk of introduction has never been higher due to the increasing influx of people from endemic regions and the recent outbreaks in {A}frica and {S}outh {A}merica. {S}ingapore is a global hub for trade and tourism and therefore at high risk for {YFV} introduction. {E}ffective control of the main domestic mosquito vector {A}edes aegypti in {S}ingapore has failed to prevent re-emergence of dengue, chikungunya and {Z}ika viruses in the last two decades, raising suspicions that peridomestic mosquito species untargeted by domestic vector control measures may contribute to arbovirus transmission. {H}ere, we provide empirical evidence that the peridomestic mosquito {A}edes malayensis found in {S}ingapore can transmit {YFV}. {O}ur laboratory mosquito colony recently derived from wild {A}e. malayensis in {S}ingapore was experimentally competent for {YFV} to a similar level as {A}e. aegypti controls. {I}n addition, we captured {A}e. malayensis females in one human-baited trap during three days of collection, providing preliminary evidence that host-vector contact may occur in field conditions. {F}inally, we detected {A}e. malayensis eggs in traps deployed in high-rise building areas of {S}ingapore. {W}e conclude that {A}e. malayensis is a competent vector of {YFV} and re-emphasize that vector control methods should be extended to target peridomestic vector species.},
