He came and sat down on things, just when they were wanted to be packed and he laboured under the fixed belief that, whenever Harris or George reached out their hand for anything, it was his cold, damp nose that they wanted. If he can squirm in anywhere where he particularly is not wanted, and be a perfect nuisance, and make people mad, and have things thrown at his head, then he feels his day has not been wasted."

Flaviviruses are responsible for several important human diseases including Dengue, West Nile and Yellow fevers, Japanese encephalitis, Tick-borne encephalitis, and Zika fever. ![]() |
