Introduction. Colombia is a country with an important non-human primates variety, highlighting the red howler monkey (Alouatta seniculus) because of its distribution and the role it plays against yellow fever. Objective. To describe the geographic co-occurrence of Alouatta seniculus according to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and the Biodiversity Information System of Colombia, against the reported history of yellow fever. Materials and methods. A descriptive study was conducted. The background of the event in Colombia was obtained from reports and bulletins from the National Institute of Health (Instituto Nacional de Salud), and Segura et al (2013). The occurrence of Alouatta seniculus was determined from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and de Biodiversity Information System of Colombia. A map of the occurrence was built with the DIVA-GIS program. Ecological niche model under current conditions was developed with the Maxent program. Results. The departments with the highest occurrence of Alouatta seniculus were Antioquia, Meta and Casanare. 69.5% of departments with reported history of yellow fever presented co-occurrence with Alouatta seniculus. The ecological niche model showed that Antioquia, Bolívar, Guajira, Magdalena, Meta, Santander, Norte de Santander and Vichada, have geographical portions rate close to 0.9 (90%) probability. Conclusions. 69.5% of departments with a history of yellow fever presented cooccurrence with Alouatta seniculus, which is relevant because non-human primates play a known role as natural reservoirs of the virus and might contribute to the event in consolidation of the yellow fever therefore they represent useful as sentinels.

Introducción. Colombia es un país importante en diversidad de primates no humanos, destacándose el mono aullador rojo (Alouatta seniculus) por su distribución y el rol que desempeña frente a la fiebre amarilla. Objetivo. Describir la co-ocurrencia geográfica del mono aullador rojo según la información del Global Biodiversity Information Facility y del Sistema de Información sobre Biodiversidad de Colombia frente a los antecedentes reportados de fiebre amarilla. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio de carácter descriptivo. Los antecedentes del evento en Colombia se obtuvieron a partir de informes y boletines del Instituto Nacional de Salud y de Segura y colaboradores (2013). La ocurrencia de Alouatta seniculus, se determinó a partir del Global Biodiversity Information Facility y del Sistema de Información sobre Biodiversidad de Colombia. Se construyó un mapa de ocurrencias con el programa Diva-Gis. Se elaboró el modelo de nicho ecológico bajo condiciones actuales con el programa Maxent. Resultados. Los departamentos con mayor ocurrencia de Alouatta seniculus fueron: Antioquia, Meta y Casanare. El 69,5% de los departamentos con antecedentes de reporte para fiebre amarilla presentó co-ocurrencia con Alouatta seniculus. El modelo de nicho ecológico mostró que Antioquia, Bolívar, Guajira, Magdalena, Meta, Santander, Norte de Santander y Vichada, poseen porciones geográficas con índice de probabilidad cercano a 0,9 (90%). Conclusiones. El 69,5% de los departamentos con antecedentes de fiebre amarilla presentó co-ocurrencia con Alouatta seniculus, que es relevante porque los primates no humanos desempeñan un rol conocido como reservorio natural del virus y pueden contribuir a la consolidación de la fiebre amarilla, por lo que representan gran utilidad como centinelas.
