AB Poxviruses  are  the  largest  and  most  complex  of  viruses  infecting  humans.  The  family  encompasses  a  large  group  of  agents  that  are  similar  morphologically  and  share  a  common  nucleoprotein  antigen.  Infections  with  most  poxviruses  are  characterized  by  a  rash,  although  lesions  induced  by  some  members  of  the  family  are  markedly  proliferative.  The  group  includes  variola  virus,  the  etiologic  agent  of  smallpox—the  viral  disease  that  has  affected  humans  throughout  recorded  history.
