, 2012 Poxviruses are characterized by their large size, complex composition, and cytoplasmic life cycle. They produce two types of infectious particles: mature virions (MVs) and extracellular virions (EVs).

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Carp edema virus (CEV) infects the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and causes the lethal koi sleepy disease (KSD). Signs of KSD include respiratory, detoxification, and osmoregulatory difficulties. Salt treatment re‐equilibrates blood sodium levels and can save the fish. However, it is unclear whether these fish are immunized, remain chronically

A System Based-Approach to Examine Cytokine Response in Poxvirus-Infected Macrophages
Viruses, 2018 The poxviruses are large, linear, double-stranded DNA viruses about 130 to 230 kbp, that have an animal origin and evolved to infect a wide host range.

BackgroundSome human poxvirus infections can be acquired through zoonotic transmission. We report a previously unknown poxvirus infection in 2 patients, 1 of whom was immunocompromised; both patients had known equine contact.MethodsThe patients were ...

Genome Variability and Gene Content in Chordopoxviruses: Dependence on Microsatellites
Viruses, 2015 To investigate gene loss in poxviruses belonging to the Chordopoxvirinae subfamily, we assessed the gene content of representative members of the subfamily, and determined whether individual genes present in each genome were intact, truncated, or ...

Annual Review of ImmunologyPoxviruses have evolved a wide array of mechanisms to evade the immune response, and we provide an overview of the different immunomodulatory strategies. Poxviruses prevent the recognition of viral DNA that triggers the immune responses and inhibit signaling pathways within the infected cell. A unique feature of poxviruses is the production of secreted

Dermatoses of nipple as molluscum contagiosum – Clinical dilemma
Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2018 Molluscum contagiosum is a very common skin and mucosal disease of viral origin, caused by molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) 0 of poxvirus family. With the eradication of smallpox, MCV is the only member of the poxvirus family that causes substantial ...

Berlin Squirrelpox Virus, a New Poxvirus in Red Squirrels, Berlin, Germany
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 Near Berlin, Germany, several juvenile red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) were found with moist, crusty skin lesions. Histology, electron microscopy, and cell culture isolation revealed an orthopoxvirus-like infection.

The genome of Eptesipoxvirus (EPTV) is the first poxvirus genome isolated from a microbat. The 176,688 nt sequence, which is believed to encompass the complete coding region of the virus, is 67% A+T and is predicted to encode 191 genes. 11 of these genes

Host-derived pathogenicity islands in poxviruses
Virology Journal, 2005 Background Poxviruses are important both as pathogens and as vaccine vectors. Poxvirus genomes (150–350 kb) consist of a single linear dsDNA molecule; the two polynucleotide strands are joined by short hairpin loops.
