Journal of general virology, 1989•microbiologyresearch.orgThe recently established virus family Flaviviridae contains at least 68 recognized members.
Sixty-six of these viruses were tested by cross-neutralization in cell cultures. Flaviviruses
were separated into eight complexes [tick-borne encephalitis (12 viruses), Rio Bravo (six),
Japanese encephalitis (10), Tyuleniy (three), Ntaya (five), Uganda S (four), dengue (four)
and Modoc (five)] containing 49 viruses; 17 other viruses were not sufficiently related to
warrant inclusion in any of these complexes.
