Amarillovirales
Flaviviridae, commonly flavivirus, flaviviral, and flaviviruses, is a family of enveloped positive-strand RNA viruses which mainly infect mammals and birds. They are primarily spread through arthropod vectors (mainly ticks and mosquitoes). The family gets its name from the yellow fever virus; flavus is Latin for "yellow", and yellow fever in turn was named because of its propensity to cause jaundice in victims. The family has five genera. Diseases associated with the group include: hemorrhagic fever, encephalitis, and the birth defect microcephaly.
