Flaviviruses have impacted human populations for centuries, with historical accounts of diseases like Yellow Fever causing major epidemics with high mortality rates. The identification of specific Flaviviruses and their arthropod vectors began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, marking significant advancements in understanding these widespread diseases. Research continues as new Flaviviruses emerge or expand their geographical range.
Flavivirus infections are predominantly transmitted to humans through the bite of infected arthropod vectors, primarily mosquitoes (e.g., *Aedes* and *Culex* species) and, less commonly, ticks. The viruses circulate in natural cycles involving these vectors and vertebrate hosts. Some Flaviviruses, like Zika, can also be transmitted sexually, congenitally (from mother to child during pregnancy or birth), or through blood transfusions.
