A poxvirus of the variola-vaccinia subgroup was isolated from the lesions of a female African refugee suffering from a smallpox-like illness. The virus is interesting because it is neither variola nor vaccinia but combines some properties of each. These properties are described and the possible origin of the virus is discussed.
从一名患天花样疾病的非洲女性难民的病灶中分离出一种天花-牛痘亚组的痘病毒。该病毒很有意思,因为它既不是天花病毒也不是牛痘病毒,而是兼具二者的一些特性。本文描述了这些特性,并讨论了该病毒可能的起源。
