ABSTRACT
During the last years, the world has witnessed significant yellow fever (YF) epidemics. The one that occurred in Africa, particularly in Angola, during 2016, is a clear example of that. This outbreak included not only locally-transmitted cases in this country, but also 11 imported cases, unprecedently in Asia, specifically in China. By the way, between Angola and Brazil, there is an increasing number of international travelers arriving to Latin America proceeding from Africa.
RESUMEN
En los últimos años, el mundo ha sido testigo de importantes epidemias de fiebre amarilla. La ocurrida en África, particularmente en Angola, durante 2016, es un claro ejemplo de ello. Este brote incluyó no solo casos transmitidos localmente en este país, sino también 11 casos importados, sin precedentes en Asia, concretamente en China. Por cierto, entre Angola y Brasil, hay un número creciente de viajeros internacionales que llegan a América Latina procedentes de África.
