It is considered a reemerging infectious disease of remarkable importance. During the last outbreaks in Brazil (2016-2017), many cases of YF emerged despite high YF vaccination coverage in some areas. However, there are many areas and populations worldwide where vaccination coverage has been low for years (e.g. Nigeria), which increases the risk of major epidemics in such areas, as would be the case in many of the American territories. Several factors, including the vast border and migratory status of Brazil, the widespread distribution of\n                    <ns4:italic>Aedes<\/ns4:italic>\n                    mosquitoes and the lack of efficient health policies and surveillance systems, favor this complex epidemiological scenario of reemergence. Therefore, mass vaccination of the population at risk, public health awareness and preparedness are urgently needed in this region. This opinion article describes the current global epidemiological situation of YF, focusing especially on the Americas, as well the risk and vulnerabilities in the region that would be of concern for major expansion to other countries apart from Brazil. Also, imported risk from endemic area outside of Americas (i.e. Africa) are of current concern.\n                  <\/ns4:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.11280.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,25]],"date-time":"2017-04-25T12:00:37Z","timestamp":1493121637000},"page":"398","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Yellow fever in the Americas: the growing concern about new epidemics"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9035-5654","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yeimer","family":"Ortiz-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9s Mauricio","family":"Pati\u00f1o-Barbosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9773-2192","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alfonso J.","family":"Rodriguez-Morales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"237-260","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cll.2010.01.001","article-title":"Yellow fever: a reemerging threat.","volume":"30","author":"C Gardner","year":"2010","journal-title":"Clin Lab Med."},{"key":"ref-2","article-title":"Yellow fever situation report.","year":"2016"},{"key":"ref-3","article-title":"Yellow fever -
