Product Description
Yellow fever virus (YFV) was the first proven human-pathogenic virus in 1927; it is a Group IV positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus, due to its direct mRNA-like functions in a host cell. It belongs to the family Flaviviridae and genus Flavivirus. Yellow fever virus was the first classified in both of these taxonomies, hence the “ flavi ” Latin root for “yellow”. Arthropod vectors are the main source for the spread of Yellow fever virus (e.g. mosquitos) like many other viruses in the Flaviviridae family (e.g. Hepatitis). There is a great deal of symmetry involved in the near spherical structure of YFV, similar to the other Flavivirus (e.g. Dengue, West Nile). YFV was named for the disease it causes in humans, Yellow fever. Humans are a dead-end host, terminating the virus’s life cycle.
