Abstract


We can examine the potential for international travelers to spread yellow fever virus to cities around the world. Using a global ecological model of dengue virus transmission, we predicted the suitability of cities in non-autochthonic areas for yellow fever transference. We obtained information on national entry requirements for yellow fever vaccination at travelers’ destination cities. In 2016, 45.2 million international air traveler’s dead from yellow fever-endemic areas of the globally. 11.7 million travelers with destinations in 472 cities where yellow fever was not autochthonic, but which were suitable for virus transmission, 7.7 million (65.7%) were not needed to provide proof of vaccination upon advent. Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Peru and the United States of America had the highest volumes of travelers arriving from yellow fever-endemic areas and the largest populations living in cities suitable for yellow fever transmission. study concluded that rapid global changes in human mobility and urbanization make it vital for countries to re-examine their vaccination policies and practices to prevent urban yellow fever epidemics.
