This article reviews the different types of poxvirus infections. Smallpox, although eradicated, must continue to be monitored because of the potential risk of accidental or voluntary (by bioterrorism) reintroduction. Monkeypox and cowpox viruses are considered to be emergent today ; their high risk of dissemination is due to the increase in international transport as well as trends for new animals as pets and the loss of vaccinal protection against smallpox. Molluscum contagiosum (molluscipoxvirus) causes mild infections, is particularly frequent in children ; in adults it is a marker of the risk of sexually transmitted infections and can, in cases with profuse lesions, reveal AIDS.
本文综述了痘病毒感染的不同类型。天花虽已根除，但由于意外或故意（通过生物恐怖主义）重新引入的潜在风险，仍需持续监测。猴痘病毒和牛痘病毒如今被视为新出现的病毒；它们传播风险高是由于国际运输增加、新动物作为宠物饲养的趋势以及天花疫苗保护作用的丧失。传染性软疣（软疣痘病毒）引起轻度感染，在儿童中尤为常见；在成人中，它是性传播感染风险的标志，在皮损广泛的情况下，可能提示艾滋病。
