Patos de Minas City Hall confirmed that a monkey found dead near the community of Moreiras, in the rural area of ​​the municipality, tested positive for yellow fever in October. Since then, community health agents have visited residents to check their vaccination cards, while Zoonosis Surveillance teams have been searching for other dead primates in the region.

In a statement, the city council reinforced that monkeys do not transmit yellow fever, but are important “sentinels”, as they indicate that the virus is circulating in the area. Transmission occurs through the bite of infected mosquitoes, and vaccination is the main prevention measure.

The city council's guidance is that, if people find sick or dead primates, do not touch the animals or try to remove them. The occurrence must be reported to the Zoonosis Control Center, by telephone (34) 3822-9624, from 7am to 6pm, by call or WhatsApp. It is important to inform the location of the animal.
