Conserved RNA secondary structures in Flaviviridae genomes [PDF]
Presented here is a comprehensive computational survey of evolutionarily conserved secondary structure motifs in the genomic RNAs of the family Flaviviridae. This virus family consists of the three genera Flavivirus, Pestivirus and Hepacivirus and the group of GB virus C/hepatitis G virus with a currently uncertain taxonomic classification.

Arboviruses and the challenge to establish systemic and persistent infections in competent mosquito vectors : the interaction with the RNAi mechanism [PDF]
Arboviruses are capable to establish long-term persistent infections in mosquitoes that do not affect significantly the physiology of the insect vectors. Arbovirus infections are controlled by the RNAi machinery via the production of viral siRNAs and the
