Rio Bravo virus

Il Rio Bravo virus (RBV) è un arbovirus della famiglia Flaviviridae, genere Flavivirus, appartiene al IV gruppo dei virus a ((+) ssRNA). Il virus RBV appartiene al gruppo dei virus Rio Bravo costituito da 6 specie del genere flavivirus; esso è strettamente sierologicamente correlato ai virus:^[1]

• Bukalasa bat virus (BBV)
• Carey Island virus (CIV)
• Dakar bat virus (DBV)
• Montana myotis leukoencefalite virus (MMLV)
• Phnom Penh bat virus (PPBV).

Il virus RBV fu isolato per la prima volta negli USA nel 1954 in un pipistrello: Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana; ha un vettore sconosciuto mentre l'animale ospite è il pipistrello Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana.^[2]

Il virus RBV fa parte dei Flavivirus patogeni per l'uomo ed è causa di febbre.^[2]
