An unusual poxvirus from Nigeria

A T Bourke et al. Bull World Health Organ. 1972.

Abstract

A poxvirus of the variola-vaccinia subgroup was isolated from the lesions of a female African refugee suffering from a smallpox-like illness. The virus is interesting because it is neither variola nor vaccinia but combines some properties of each. These properties are described and the possible origin of the virus is discussed.
