Abstract

The re-emergence of human mpox with the multi-country outbreak and a recent report of borealpox (previously Alaskapox) resulting in one death has heightened awareness of the significance of the Poxviridae family and their zoonotic potential. This review examines various poxviruses affecting humans, with discussion of less commonly encountered Poxviridae members, including pathogenesis, epidemiology, and diagnostic methods. Poxvirus treatment is beyond the intended scope of this review and will not be discussed.

什么是痘病毒？回顾影响人类的痘病毒

人类痘病毒在多国爆发后再次出现，最近又报告了导致一人死亡的北方痘病毒（以前是阿拉斯加痘病毒），这些都提高了人们对痘病毒科的重要性及其人畜共患病可能性的认识。本综述探讨了影响人类的各种痘病毒，并讨论了不常见的痘病毒科成员，包括致病机理、流行病学和诊断方法。痘病毒治疗超出了本综述的预期范围，因此不在讨论之列。
