About the genus flaviviridae[edit]

The Flaviviridae are a family of positive, single-stranded, enveloped RNA viruses.

Tickborne[edit]

They are found in arthropods, (primarily ticks and mosquitoes), and can occasionally infect humans.

Diseases caused[edit]

Members of this family belong to a single genus, Flavivirus, and cause widespread morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Some of the mosquitoes-transmitted viruses include: Yellow fever, Dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis, West Nile viruses, and Zika virus.
