Description
Summary:	•Callithichids may present an atypical histopathological pattern of Yellow fever.•A housed marmoset acted as a focal point of Yellow fever in a highly urbanized neighborhood in São Paulo municipality.•Proper investigation of animal deaths is mandatory to conduct adequate control measures, in Yellow fever epidemics context.•Investigation conducted in the shore revealed a new area of viral circulation, followed by several deaths of Howler monkeys. Yellow fever (YF) surveillance in Brazil is focused mainly on the detection of epizootic events regarding New World non-human primates (NWNHP). We present a challenging case of a Callitrichidae (Callithrix spp) kept as a domiciliated pet that lived in the urban area of São Paulo municipality and was positive to YF virus by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry. After investigation, it was the first occurrence of non-autochthonous YF case of NWNHP described, with probable place of infection in the North shore of São Paulo state. This case illustrates the importance of coordinated laboratorial and field actions, and risks posed by transit of wildlife.
