AI Article Synopsis
- * Many flaviviruses are host-specific and can cause diseases, such as hepatitis C virus found in the Hepacivirus genus.
- * The genus Flavivirus includes numerous arthropod-borne viruses, which are significant human and veterinary pathogens like yellow fever and dengue viruses, with detailed classification found in an ICTV report.
Article Abstract
The Flaviviridae is a family of small enveloped viruses with RNA genomes of 9000-13 000 bases. Most infect mammals and birds. Many flaviviruses are host-specific and pathogenic, such as hepatitis C virus in the genus Hepacivirus. The majority of known members in the genus Flavivirus are arthropod borne, and many are important human and veterinary pathogens (e.g. yellow fever virus, dengue virus). This is a summary of the current International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) report on the taxonomy of the Flaviviridae, which is available at www.ictv.global/report/flaviviridae.
