Chordo-poxvirinae

Chordopoxvirinae are divided into eight genera, one of which is Orthopoxvirus, which includes the human pathogens variola, monkeypox virus, and other species that infect humans such as cowpox and vaccinia viruses.

    Classification

    The family Poxviridae is subdivided into two subfamilies: Chordopoxvirinae (poxviruses of vertebrates) and Entomopoxvirinae(poxviruses of insects). The subfamily Chordopoxvirinae is further subdivided into ten genera that include viruses that cause disease in domestic or laboratory animals (Table 7.1). A considerable and growing number of poxviruses await precise taxonomic assignment and are currently “unclassified.”

    TAXONOMIC STRUCTURE OF THE SUBFAMILY

    SubfamilyChordopoxvirinae
    GenusOrthopoxvirus
    GenusParapoxvirus
    GenusAvipoxvirus
    GenusCapripoxvirus
    GenusLeporipoxvirus
    GenusSuipoxvirus
    GenusMolluscipoxvirus
    GenusYatapoxvirus

    DISTINGUISHING FEATURES

    Includes brick-shaped or ovoid poxviruses of vertebrates with a low G+C content (30–40%), except for the parapoxviruses (64%) and MOCV (63%). 

    Entomopoxviruses

    M.N. Becker, R.W. Moyer, in Encyclopedia of Virology (Third Edition), 2008

    Phylogeny

    Within the subfamily Chordopoxvirinae are eight genera. The causative agent of smallpox (variola virus) and the virus used for vaccination against smallpox (VV) are members of the genus Orthopoxvirus. Other CVs that cause human disease are cowpox virusand monkeypox virus within this same genus and molluscum contagiosum virus in the genus Molluscipoxvirus.

    Poxviruses

    Christopher J. Burrell, ... Frederick A. Murphy, in Fenner and White's Medical Virology (Fifth Edition), 2017

    Classification

    The family Poxviridae is divided into two subfamilies: Chordopoxvirinae(poxviruses of vertebrates) and Entomopoxvirinae (poxviruses of insects). The subfamily Chordopoxvirinae is divided further into nine genera, four of which (Orthipoxvirus, ParapoxvirusMolluscipoxvirus, and Yatapoxvirus) contain viruses that cause human infections. Smallpox and molluscum contagiosum are specifically human diseases; the other two are zoonoses. The genus Leporipoxvirusincludes myxoma virus, which causes the fatal disease myxomatosis in European rabbits and was used successfully to control rabbit plagues. There are other poxviruses that have not yet been classified (Table 16.1).

    Table 16.1. Human Poxvirus Infections

    Genus/VirusDiseaseFeatures and Epidemiology
    Orthopoxvirus/variola virusSmallpox (variola)Globally eradicated: Narrow host range
    Variola majorGeneralized infection with pustular rash; case-fatality rate 10 to 25%
    Variola minorGeneralized infection with pustular rash; case-fatality rate less than 1%
    Orthopoxvirus/vaccinia virusVaccinia infection as a complication of vaccinationUsually, a local pustule, slight malaise. Rarely, eczema vaccinatum or generalized vaccinia (low mortality); progressive vaccinia (high mortality in immunocompromised vaccinees); postvaccinial encephalitis (high mortality): frequently used as a vaccine vector
    Orthopoxvirus/monkeypox virusHuman monkeypoxGeneralized infection with pustular rash; case-fatality rate in humans 15%: numerous animal hosts, e.g. squirrels, anteaters: found in Central and West Africa
    Orthopoxvirus/cowpox virusHuman cowpox infectionLocalized ulcerating lesion on the skin, usually acquired from cats or cows: found in Asia and Europe
    Parapoxvirus/milker’s nodule virusMilker’s noduleTrivial localized nodular infection on the hands acquired from cows
    Parapoxvirus/orf virusOrfLocalized papulo-vesicular lesion on the skin acquired from sheep: worldwide distribution
    Molluscipoxvirus/molluscum contagiosum virusMolluscum contagiosumMultiple benign nodules in skin
    Yatapoxviru/Yabapox virusYabapoxLocalized skin tumors acquired from monkeys (rare): narrow host range: Found in West Africa
    Yatapoxvirus/Tanapox virusTanapoxLocalized skin lesions probably from arthropod bites; common in parts of West Africa

    PARAPOXVIRUSES (POXVIRIDAE)

    Andrew Mercer, David Haig, in Encyclopedia of Virology (Second Edition), 1999

    Taxonomy and Classification

    The Parapoxvirus genus belongs to the family Poxviridae, subfamily ChordopoxvirinaeThe type species of the genus is orf virus and the other species recognized as members are bovine papular stomatitis viruspseudocowpox virus and a recently identified member, parapoxvirus of red deer in New Zealand. Synonyms by which these viruses have been known include contagious pustular dermatitisvirus and contagious ecthyma virus for orf virus and Milker's nodulevirus and paravaccinia virus for pseudocowpox virus. Tentative species of this genus are Auzduk disease virus (camel contagious ecthyma virus), chamois contagious ecthyma virus, sealpox virus and a virus that infects red squirrels.

    The three original members of the genus were classified as separate species on the basis of the host animal and/or the pathology of the disease. Likewise, the observation of a parapox-like virus in red deer first suggested that this might represent another species. These separations have been supported by later studies which employed DNA/DNA hybridizationrestriction endonuclease profiling or serology.
