Conservation and Variation in Orthopoxvirus Genome Structure
Journal of General Virology, 1979 Orthopoxvirus DNA from representative strains of rabbitpox, vaccinia, monkeypox, variola, cowpox and ectromelia viruses was analysed by cleavage with restriction endonucleases HindIII, XhoI or SmaI. Genome mol. wt. vary from about 120 x 10(6) for rabbitpox to about 145 x 10(6) for cowpox.

Orthopoxvirus Targets for the Development of Antiviral Therapies [PDF]
Current Drug Target -Infectious Disorders, 2005 The potential use of smallpox virus as a bioterror agent and the endemic presence of monkeypox virus in Africa underscores the need for better therapies for orthopoxvirus infections. The only existing clinical experience treating vaccinia and smallpox infections has been with Marboran, which suggested that antiviral therapies could be effective in ...

(+)‐Camphor and (−)‐borneol derivatives as potential anti‐orthopoxvirus agents
Archiv der Pharmazie, 2021 Although the World Health Organisation had announced that smallpox was eradicated over 40 years ago, the disease and other related pathogenic poxviruses such as monkeypox remain potential bioterrorist weapons and could also re‐emerge as natural ...

Cowpox after a cat scratch – case report from Poland
Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2015 Cowpox in humans is a rare zoonotic disease; its recognition is therefore problematic due to the lack of clinical experience. The differential diagnosis includes other poxvirus infections and also infections with herpesviruses or selected bacteria.

Viral genomic features predict Orthopoxvirus reservoir hosts
Communications BiologyOrthopoxviruses (OPVs), including the causative agents of smallpox and mpox have led to devastating outbreaks in human populations worldwide. However, the discontinuation of smallpox vaccination, which also provides cross-protection against related OPVs,

Fish Poxviruses on the Rise: Prospects for Aquatic Health
Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fish poxviruses are increasingly recognised as emerging pathogens of fish and should be considered in cases of unexplained gill or skin pathology. Carp edema virus (CEV), the causative agent of koi sleepy disease in common carp and koi (Cyprinus carpio), represents the first known example.
