Systematic genome analysis enables long-overdue taxonomic reorganization of genus Orthoflavivirus; potential assignment of over 50 new species
Members of the Orthoflavivirus genus in the family Flaviviridae are primarily vector-transmitted RNA viruses infecting humans, other mammals and birds, including major pathogens such as tick borne encephalitis, West Nile, Zika and dengue viruses. Vector-borne flaviviruses are assigned to the Euflavivirus subgenus of orthoflaviviruses, with more divergent largely unclassified insect-specific…
