What The #Pox? #Review of #Poxviruses Affecting #Humans, J Clin Virol.: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1386653224000817?dgcid=rss_sd_all
This review examines various poxviruses affecting humans, with discussion of less commonly encountered Poxviridae members, including #pathogenesis, #epidemiology, and #diagnostic methods. Poxvirus #treatment is beyond the intended scope of this review and will not be discussed.

Virophages are viruses that infect giant viruses, typically resulting in a lower burst size for the giant virus. In our latest preprint we report virophage-like sequences associated with insect poxviruses.
Their genomes of these elements are really interesting. This also opens up the possibility that hyperparasitic viruses are associated with a much broader range of DNA viruses than is commonly thought.
