Analysis revealed yellow fever virus in Aedes albopictus from urban green areas, suggesting ongoing monitoring is needed.
We detected yellow fever virus by using quantitative PCR in Aedes albopictus mosquitoes and isolated the virus in C6/36 cells in 4 of 18 pools, including 118 specimens collected in an urban green area in São Paulo State, Brazil. Additional monitoring to detect shifts in transmission of this species is warranted.
