Flaviviridae is a family of enveloped positive-strand RNA viruses which mainly infect mammals and birds. [1] . They are primarily spread through arthropod vectors (mainly ticks and mosquitoes). [2] .
Dengue virus (DENV) is the cause of dengue fever. It is a mosquito -borne, single positive-stranded RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae; genus Flavivirus. [1][2] Four serotypes of the virus have been found, and a reported fifth has yet to be confirmed, [3][4][5] all of which can cause the full spectrum of disease. [1]

FLAVIVIRUS: INTRODUCTION. Most flaviviruses are arthropod-borne viruses which cause mild rash and fever or life-threatening hemorrhagic fever and encephalitis in infected individuals.
All alphaviruses and flaviviruses that cause disease in humans are arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). In the original classification scheme based on antigenic relationships, alphaviruses and flaviviruses were termed group A and group B arboviruses, respectively.
