Evolution of the orthopoxvirus core genome
Virus Research, 2022 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.

Orthopoxvirus Infections in Rodents, Nigeria, 2018–2019
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 To investigate animal reservoirs of monkeypox virus in Nigeria, we sampled 240 rodents during 2018–2019. Molecular (real-time PCR) and serologic (IgM) evidence indicated orthopoxvirus infections, but presence of monkeypox virus was not confirmed.

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 ...
