  • Conference paper
Poxviruses

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 163))

Abstract

Over the years, there have been a number of excellent reviews and articles which discuss aspects of orthopoxvirus virulence and pathogenesis (Fenner 1948a; Fenner 1948b; Fenner 1949a; Fenner 1949b; Fenner and Cairns 1959; Mims 1964; Blanden 1970; Blanden 1971a; Blanden 1971b; Jacoby et al. 1983; Jacoby and Bhatt 1987; Bhatt and Jacoby 1987a; Bhatt and Jacoby 1987b; Bhatt et al. 1988; Fenner et al. 1988a; Fenner et al. 1988b; Joklik et al. 1988). In particular, we would refer readers to the recent, excellent book by Fenner, Wittek and Dumbell (1989) upon which we have drawn extensively for this review and that provides over 40 years of personal perspectives on the subject.
