M.O.
"The flavivirous causes Yellow fever, and it's transmitted when an infected mosquitoes bites you. Mosquitoes become infected with the virus when they bite an infected human or monkey. The disease cannot be spread from one person to another. After being transmitted into the body by the mosquitoes the Yellow fever can lie dormant within the body during an incubation period of three to six days. After the incubation period Yellow fever grows intracellularly inside the host cell, where components of the immune system cannot reach them. Another virulence mechanism that contributes to this disease process is that the Yellow fever virus can gain access to cells because they have attachment sites for receptors located on their target cells. In this case the virulence factor for Yellow fever is the FC receptor binding spot where a "Non-neutralizing" antibody has been shown to enhance the alpha and flaviviruses by promoting their binding to FC receptors."
