Cowpox Viruses: A Zoo Full of Viral Diversity and Lurking Threats
Cowpox viruses (CPXVs) exhibit the broadest known host range among the Poxviridae family and have caused lethal outbreaks in various zoo animals and pets across 12 Eurasian countries, as well as an increasing number of human cases.

Poxviruses Aren't StuPYD [PDF]
Pathogens utilize many strategies to dampen the host inflammatory response. In this issue of Immunity, a report by Johnston and colleagues reveals a poxvirus strategy that inhibits the inflammasome, arresting secretion of interleukin-1-related cytokines, thus silencing key alarms that mobilize host defenses.

Poxvirus Interactions with the Host Ubiquitin System
The ubiquitin system has emerged as a master regulator of many, if not all, cellular functions. With its large repertoire of conjugating and ligating enzymes, the ubiquitin system holds a unique mechanism to provide selectivity and specificity in ...

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Poxviruses compromise a group of long known important pathogens including some zoonotic members affecting lifestock animals and humans. While whole genome sequence analysis started to shed light into the molecular mechanisms underlying host cell infection, viral replication as well as virulence, our ...

Poxviral ANKR/F-box Proteins: Substrate Adapters for Ubiquitylation and More
Poxviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses that infect insects and a variety of vertebrate species. The large genomes of poxviruses contain numerous genes that allow these viruses to successfully establish infection, including those that help evade the ...

In Silico Repurposed Drugs against Monkeypox Virus
Monkeypox is an emerging epidemic of concern. The disease is caused by the monkeypox virus and an increasing global incidence with a 2022 outbreak that has spread to Europe amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The new outbreak is associated with novel, previously
