''Flaviviridae'' is a family of viruses. Humans and mammals serve as natural hosts. They are primarily spread through arthropod vectors (mainly ticks and mosquitoes). The family gets its name from Yellow Fever virus, a type virus of ''Flaviviridae''; ''flavus'' means yellow in Latin. (Yellow fever in turn was named because of its propensity to cause jaundice in victims.)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Flaviviridae )〕 There are currently 60 species in this family, divided among 4 genera. Diseases associated with this family include: hepaciviruses: hepatitis; pestiviruses: hemorrhagic syndromes, abortion, fatal mucosal disease; flavivirus: hemorrhagic fever, encephalitis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://viralzone.expasy.org/all_by_species/43.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Virus Taxonomy: 2014 Release )〕 ==Taxonomy== *Genus ''Flavivirus'' (type species ''Yellow fever virus'', others include ''West Nile virus'' and ''Dengue Fever'')—contains 67 identified human and animal viruses *Genus ''Hepacivirus'' (type species ''Hepatitis C virus'', also includes GB virus B) *Genus ''Pegivirus'' (includes GB virus A, GB virus C, and GB virus D) *Genus ''Pestivirus'' (type species ''bovine viral diarrhea virus'', others include classical swine fever or hog cholera)—contains viruses infecting non-human mammals Group: ssRNA(+) }}〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flaviviridae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
