After the world-wide eradication of human smallpox, compulsory vaccination against smallpox will no longer be applicable in future in most countries. Although the human smallpox virus (variola virus) appears to have no animal reservoir, humanity is increasingly endangered in future by animal smallpox viruses pathogenic in man against which he has been so far protected by the general smallpox vaccination. This is a virus type of the Genus Orthopox virus. The risk from animal pox viruses, which are not related to the Orthopox virus, remains unchanged. Of the animal Orthopox viruses the monkey pox viruses deserve special attention; possibly rodents also play a decisive role in transmission of smallpox.
在全球根除人类天花之后，大多数国家未来将不再适用强制接种天花疫苗。尽管人类天花病毒（天花病毒）似乎没有动物宿主，但未来人类越来越受到对人类致病的动物天花病毒的威胁，迄今为止，普通天花疫苗一直为人类提供着针对这些病毒的保护。这是正痘病毒属的一种病毒类型。与正痘病毒无关的动物痘病毒带来的风险依然未变。在动物正痘病毒中，猴痘病毒值得特别关注；啮齿动物在天花传播中可能也起着决定性作用。
