The virus of Tanapox isolated from the lesions of patients during an outbreak of mild disease in Africa has been found to be indistinguishable in its biological and serological properties from a virus isolated from outbreaks of a pox virus infection in monkeys in primate centres in America. The natural hosts of this virus are believed to be African monkeys and ;Tanapox virus' is proposed as a suitable designation for the virus.

在非洲一次轻症疾病暴发期间，从患者病损处分离出的塔那痘病毒，在生物学和血清学特性上，与从美国灵长类动物中心猴子的痘病毒感染暴发中分离出的一种病毒并无差异。据信这种病毒的天然宿主是非洲猴子，因此提议将该病毒命名为“塔那痘病毒”。
