Flaviviruses include several emerging and re-emerging arboviruses that cause millions of infections each year. Although relatively well-studied, much remains unknown regarding the mechanisms and means by which these viruses adapt to different hosts and rapidly alternate between hosts. Different aspects of flaviviral biology impact host switching, viral fitness, and the generation of viral diversity during genome replication by the NS3 and NS5 proteins. Together these factors may impact host plasticity.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a retrovirus belonging to the lentivirus genus of the orthoretrovirinae family. HIV-1 is widely known for causing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in humans and being responsible for 1.8 million deaths due to AIDS associated illnesses in 201016.
