What is Poxvirus-driven Human Diseases and Emerging Therapeutics about?
__Poxviridae__ have been successful pathogens throughout recorded history, infecting humans among a variety of other hosts. Although eradication of the notorious smallpox has been a globally successful healthcare phenomenon, the recent emergence of __Monkeypox virus__, also belonging to the __Orthopoxvirus__ genus and causing human disease, albeit milder than smallpox, is a cause of significant public health concern. The ongoing outbreak of monkeypox, demonstrating human–human transmission, in previously nonendemic countries, calls for critical need into further research in the areas of viral biology, ecology, and epidemiology to better understand, prevent and treat human infections. In the wake of these recent events, it becomes important to revisit poxviral infections, their pathogenesis and ability to cause infection across multiple nonhuman hosts and leap to a human host. The poxviruses that cause human diseases include __Monkeypox virus__, __Molluscum contagiosum virus__, and __Orf virus__. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of various poxviruses causing human diseases, provide insights into their replication and pathogenicity, disease progression and sympt
