The continued challenges of flavivirus serology
Flaviviruses are a genus of positive-sense RNA viruses, largely transmitted by mosquito and tick vectors that cause infections, including yellow fever, dengue, the Zika virus, West Nile virus, Japanese encephalitis, and tick-borne encephalitis. In fighting the emergence of flaviviruses, a well-established gap in our arsenal is the availability of accurate diagnostic data. Read More
