WHAT DOES FLAVIVIRUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

flavivirus

Flavivirus

Flavivirus is a genus of viruses in the family Flaviviridae. This genus includes the West Nile virus, dengue virus, tick-borne encephalitis virus, yellow fever virus, and several other viruses which may cause encephalitis. Flaviviruses are named from the yellow fever virus, the type virus for the family; the word "flavus" means "yellow" in Latin. The name "yellow fever" originated from its propensity to cause yellow jaundice in victims. Flaviviruses share several common aspects: common size, symmetry, nucleic acid, and appearance in the electron microscope. Most of these viruses are transmitted by the bite from an infected arthropod and hence, classified as arboviruses. Human infections with these viruses are typically incidental, as humans are unable to replicate the virus to high enough titres to reinfect arthropods needed to continue the virus life cycle – man is a dead end host. The exceptions to this are yellow fever and dengue viruses, which still require mosquito vectors, but are well-enough adapted to humans as to not necessarily depend upon animal hosts.

Definition of flavivirus in the English dictionary
