Orthopoxvirus DNA in Eurasian Lynx, Sweden [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Cowpox virus, which has been used to protect humans against smallpox but may cause severe disease in immunocompromised persons, has reemerged in humans, domestic cats, and other animal species in Europe.

Orthopoxvirus Genome Evolution: The Role of Gene Loss [PDF]

Viruses, 2010
Poxviruses are highly successful pathogens, known to infect a variety of hosts. The family Poxviridae includes Variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, which has been eradicated as a public health threat but could potentially reemerge as a ...

Serologic evidence of human orthopoxvirus infections in Sierra Leone [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background Orthopoxviruses, including variola virus, vaccinia virus, and monkeypox virus, have previously been documented in humans in West Africa, however, no cases of human orthopoxvirus infection have been reported in the region since 1986.

An Update of Orthopoxvirus Molecular Evolution [PDF]

Viruses, 2022
Although variola virus (VARV) has been eradicated through widespread vaccination, other orthopoxviruses pathogenic for humans circulate in nature. Recently, new orthopoxviruses, including some able to infect humans, have been found and their complete genomes have been sequenced.

Evolution of the orthopoxvirus core genome

Virus Research, 2023
Orthopoxviruses comprise several relevant pathogens, including the causative agent of smallpox and monkeypox virus. Analysis of orthopoxvirus genome evolution mainly focused on gene gains/losses. We instead analyzed core genes, which are conserved in all orthopoxviruses.

Skin lesions caused by Orthopoxvirus in children

Advances in Dermatology and Allergology, 2020
The global eradication of smallpox and abandonment of mandatory smallpox vaccination has led to an increased proportion of the population who are immunologically naïve to infections caused by Orthopoxviruses (OPV).To present the different courses of OPV infection in children and to highlight the diagnostic difficulties in their differentiation from the

Novel Orthopoxvirus Infection in an Alaska Resident [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2017
Human infection by orthopoxviruses is being reported with increasing frequency, attributed in part to the cessation of smallpox vaccination and concomitant waning of population-level immunity. In July 2015, a female resident of interior Alaska presented to an urgent care clinic with a dermal lesion consistent with poxvirus infection. Laboratory testing

Immunization with a single extracellular enveloped virus protein produced in bacteria provides partial protection from a lethal orthopoxvirus infection in a natural host [PDF]

, 2006
Subunit vaccines that use the vaccinia virus extracellular envelope protein A33R alone or combined with other structural proteins are excellent candidates for a new smallpox vaccine.
