Flavivirus - Definition and Overview

Flavivirus (also Japanese Encephalitis Antigenic Complex) is a genus of the family Flaviviridae. This complex includes the West Nile virus and several other viruses which cause encephalitis.

Flavivirus share a common size (40-60 nanometres), symmetry (enveloped, icosahedral nucleocapsid), nucleic acid (positive-sense, single stranded RNA approximately 10,000-11,000 bases), and appearance in the electron microscope.
