ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Poxviridae 2023
Journal of General Virology, 2023 Poxviridae is a family of enveloped, brick-shaped or ovoid viruses. The genome is a linear molecule of dsDNA (128-375 kbp) with covalently closed ends. The family includes the sub-families Entomopoxvirinae, whose members have been found in four orders of insects, and Chordopoxvirinae, whose members are found in mammals, birds, reptiles and fish ...

Poxvirus Bioinformatics Resource Center: a comprehensive Poxviridae informational and analytical resource [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2004 The Poxvirus Bioinformatics Resource Center (PBRC) has been established to provide informational and analytical resources to the scientific community to aid research directed at providing a better understanding of the Poxviridae family of viruses. The PBRC was specifically established as the result of the concern that variola virus, the causative agent
