Flavivirus Pestivirus Hepacivirus Viruses can be classified in several ways, such as by their geometry, by whether they have envelopes, by the identity of the host organism they can infect, by mode of transmission, or by the type of disease they cause. ... An RNA virus is a virus that either uses RNA as its genetic material, or whose genetic material passes through an RNA intermediate during replication. ... Species see text Flavivirus (also Japanese Encephalitis Antigenic Complex) is a genus of the family Flaviviridae. ... Hepacivirus is a genus, or category, of the Flaviviridae family of viruses. ...

Genus Hepacivirus (type species Hepatitis C virus)
Genus Pestivirus (type species Bovine viral diarrhea virus, others include classical swine fever or hog cholera)
Flaviviridae have monopartite, linear, single-stranded RNAgenomes of positive polarity, 9.6 to 12.3-kilobase in length. The 5'-termini of flaviviruses carry a methylatednucleotide cap, while other members of this family are uncapped and encode an internal ribosome entry site. Virus particles are enveloped and spherical, about 40-60 nm in diameter. Species see text Flavivirus (also Japanese Encephalitis Antigenic Complex) is a genus of the family Flaviviridae. ... West Nile virus is a virus of the family Flaviviridae, found in both tropical and temperate regions. ... This article is about the tropical disease. ...

Classical swine fever (CSF) or hog cholera is a highly contagious disease of pigs and wild boar. ... Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a nucleic acid polymer consisting of covalently bound nucleotides. ... Genome is also a popular science book by Matt Ridley. ... A unit of measurement in genetics denoting a length of 1000 nucleotides (bases) of DNA or RNA. Categories: Genetics ... Methylation refers to the replacement of a hydrogen atom (H) with a methyl group (CH3), regardless of the substrate. ... A nucleotide is a chemical compound that consists of a heterocyclic base, a sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. ... A nanometre (American spelling: nanometer) is 1. ...
The virions of flaviviridae consist of an envelope and a nucleocapsid.
Flaviviridaeviruses produce a wide range of diseases including fever, arthralgia, rash, haemorrhagic fever and encephalitis.
The outcome of infection is influenced by both the virus and a number of host-specific factors like age, sex, genetic susceptibility and preexposure to same or related agent.
