The poxviruses responsible for infections in humans, the geographic locations in which these infections are found, the host reservoirs, and the main manifestations are listed in Table 191-1. Infections with orthopoxviruses—e.g., smallpox (variola major) virus (Chap. S2) or the zoonotic monkeypox virus—can result in systemic, potentially lethal human disease. Other poxvirus infections cause primarily localized skin disease in humans.
