The Flaviviridae or Flaviviruses represent a family of viruses that all contain single-stranded RNA and are therefore taxonomically assigned to the RNA viruses . The type species of the entire family is the yellow fever virus (hence the name of the family from Latin flavus , "yellow").

All members of this family have a virus envelope made of lipids from the original host cell and the viral proteins stored in it and are between 40 and 60 nm in size. The viruses multiply in the cytoplasm of the host cell and are stable in the pH range from 7 to 9.

Systematics

Internal system

The Flaviviridae family includes the genera Flavivirus , Hepacivirus , Pegivirus and Pestivirus ( International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), as of November 2018). The following list makes no claim to completeness of the listed species, details may be found with the individual genera.

  • Family Flaviviridae
The pathogens of the genus Flavivirus cause a large number of virus infections in both humans and animals .
  • Species Pegivirus A ( GB virus A , GBV-A, type species), infects New World monkeys
  • Species Pegivirus B ( GB virus D , GBV-D)
  • Species Pegivirus C ( GB virus C , GBV-C, outdated human pegivirus , HPgV and hepatitis G virus , HGV; with subspecies GB virus Citro , GBV-Citro)
  • Species Pegivirus D to Pegivirus G
  • Species Pegivirus H (alias Human hepegivirus , HHPgV or HPgV-2)
  • Species Pegivirus I to Pegivirus K
The viruses of the genus Pestivirus only play a role as pathogens in animals .
  • unclassified species, candidates according to NCBI (unconfirmed by ICTV)
  • Species " Cuacua virus "
  • Species " Donggang virus "
  • Species " Karumba virus " (KRBV)
  • Species " Hanko virus "
  • Species " Haslams Creek virus "
  • Species " Mac Peak virus " (McPV)
  • Species " Marisma mosquito virus "
  • Species " Menghai flavivirus "
  • Species " Nakiwogo virus " (NAKV)
  • Species " Xishuangbanna Aedes flavivirus "

External system

Koonin et al (2015) suspect that the Flaviviridae originate from the relatives they postulate, negative-strand RNA viruses ; this group corresponds to today's Phylum Negarnaviricota . Proposed sister group would be the family of Tombusviridae . According to this proposal, they all together form the supergroup “Flavivirus-like superfamily” postulated by the authors. Shi et al (2016) similarly describe the further relationship of the Flaviviridae as " Flavi-like viruses " and have found a number of candidates:

  • Species " Beihai barnacle virus 1 " (BHBV1)
  • Species " Bole tick virus 4 " (BLTV4)
  • Species " Gamboa mosquito virus " (GMV)
  • Species " Sanxia water strider virus 6 " (SXWSV6)
  • Species " Shayang fly virus 4 " (SYFV4)
  • Species " Shayang spider virus 4 " (SYSV4)
  • Species " Shuangao lacewing virus 2 " (SALV2)
  • Species " Tacheng tick virus 8 " (TCTV8)
  • Species " Wuhan centipede virus " (WHCeV)
  • Species " Xingshan cricket virus " (XSCV)
  • Species " Xinzhou spider virus 2 " (XZSV2)
  • Species " Xinzhou spider virus 3 " (XZSV3)

In March 2020, the ICTV put the Tymovirales , Flaviviridae , Tombusviridae and a number of other families in the common phylum Kitrinoviricota with the Master species List # 35 , and this u. a. with the Negarnaviricota in the common kingdom of Orthornavirae . A cladogram of these groups can be found at Tymovirales §ICTV Master Species List # 35 .

  6. Since this supergroup (called by the authors as English superfamily ) contains a phylum with the Nagarnaviricota , their rank must necessarily be higher and should not be understood as a superfamily . Ranks higher than order (such as Phylum) were not specified by the ICTV at the time of the 2015 work.
