Poxviruses range from deadly smallpox to attenuated vaccinia virus used in vaccines and oncolytic vectors. Despite their broad, if antithetical, effects on humankind, the mechanistic details of poxvirus assembly are not known. Here we discuss advances in revealing the structure of the palisade layer...
The World Health Organization announced mpox(or monkeypox)as a public health emergency of international concern in July 2022,and prophylactic and therapeutic measures are in urgent need.The monkeypox virus(MPXV)has its own DNA polymerase F8,together with the processive cofactors A22 and E4,...
Virus particles, called virions, contain the viral genome encapsidated in a protein coat. The function of the coat is to protect the genome of the virus in the extracellular environment as well as to bind to a new host cell and introduce the genome into it. Viral genomes are small and ...
Specific Immune Response A specific immune response is against one particular type of virus. LYMPHOCYTES. The white blood cells involved are called LYMPHOCYTES. ANTIBODIES These produce special protein molecules called ANTIBODIES. Lymphocyte If a child catches the chicken pox virus, a specific lymphocyte...
Chickenpox illness occurs due to the varicella zoster virus (VZV). Examine the structure and composition of this virus and how it infects cells,...

The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), including Phycodnaviruses, Mimiviruses, Iridoviruses, Asfarviruses, Ascoviruses, Marseilleviruses, Pandoraviruses, and Poxviruses, are one of the largest group of viruses that infect a broad variety of eukaryotic hosts. These viruses have genomes1 ...

Monkeypox is caused by monkeypox virus, an enveloped double-stranded DNA virus that belongs to theOrthopoxvirusgenus of thePoxviridaefamily. The monkeypox virus has its own DNA polymerase F8 which, when together with the processive cofactors A22 and E4, constitutes the polymerase holoenzyme for ...
Smallpox is caused by a large virus that can go through several different stages to infect cells. This lesson will discuss the different forms of...
