Rainfall |
Exceeds 2000 mm. Climatic factors like moisture and temperature influence the abundance of vectors of the YF and the multiplication of the virus. |

Usage and occupation |
Forests are the regions where the virus of sylvatic Yellow Fever (SYF). |

|
Forest distance |
The vector can be found in the areas nearby the forests and some species that transmits YF are apt to fly up to 11000 m. |

Existence of non-human primates of the genera Alouatta and Callithrix
|
Sensitive to the virus and with high mortality rate. |

Mosquitoes |
The vectors that transmit the YF are of the family Culicidae, it is usually does not disperse more than 1000 m, however some species that transmits YF are apt to fly up to 11000 m. |
