Dengue virus
The 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. Five serotypes of the virus have been found, all of which can cause the full spectrum of disease. Nevertheless, scientists are finding their understanding of dengue virus may be simplistic, as rather than distinct antigenic groups in space and time there appears to be a continuum. This same study identified 47 strains of dengue virus. Additionally, coinfection with and lack of rapid tests for zika virus and chikungunya complicate matters in real world infections.
Its genome is about 11000 bases that codes for three structural proteins (capsid protein C, membrane protein M, envelope protein E) and seven nonstructural proteins (NS1, NS2a, NS2b, NS3, NS4a, NS4b, NS5). It also includes short non-coding regions on both the 5' and 3' ends. Further classification of each serotype into genotypes often relates to the region where particular strains are commonly found or were first found.

by: Straight Outta Junior HighI dig the glasses that you're wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
You're pretty cute but not so hot you're out of my league
We make interesting conversation
Inside jokes random observations
I liked that time you called that one guy Idi Amin
Throw out a Simpson's reference and you pick it up
We can talk about things and you know about stuff
One time you almost won at jeopardy
Baby it's ok would you be my Tina Fey?
We could run away if you were my Tina Fey today today today
You like to watch the shows that I like
We get along and we never have fights
And you don't care if I hog the remote control
SNL, Curb Your Enthusiasm and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
But never Grey's cuz it's the lamest show in the world
Throw out a star wars reference and you pick it up
You're not like all the other girls who wince and
