Do flaviviruses infect using melanocortin receptors ? I ask based on infection patterns.
Melancortin receptors are in the kidney and the nervous system

Dengue and kidney disease

Yellow fever
obviously this infects the liver making one look yellow but does it infect the kidney?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23648410 is the virus in the kidney?
There are melancortin receptors in the liver but according to this most are in the brain

ACTH specifically is a melancortin receptor

The main areas of melancortin receptors include the substantia nigra (so this virus could trigger parkinson's)
