Poxviruses are famous, or infamous, as agents of disease introduced into novel host species and between populations of the same species. This discussion concerns selected examples of poxviruses associated with vertebrate infections, i.e., the Chordopoxvirus subfamily of the family Poxviridae. Brief note is made of examples of members of the genera Leporipoxvirus and Parapoxvirus-like agents that have been recognized to have significant trans-host species impact. The remaining bulk of the discussion involves examples of members of the genus Orthopoxvirus, which are known to be (have been) involved with human disease, and their zoonotic origins.
痘病毒作为引入新宿主物种以及在同一物种群体间传播疾病的病原体,可谓声名远扬或臭名昭著。本讨论涉及与脊椎动物感染相关的痘病毒实例,即痘病毒科的脊索痘病毒亚科。简要提及了兔痘病毒属和副痘病毒样病原体属成员的实例,这些实例已被确认对跨宿主物种有重大影响。讨论的其余大部分内容涉及正痘病毒属成员的实例,这些病毒已知(或曾)与人类疾病有关及其人畜共患病起源。
