2 Introduction Poxciruses have been known - the characteristic "pocks" produced by variola virus (Smallpox) . The Pharaoh Ramses V (left) died of smallpox in 1157 B.C The disease reached Europe in 710 A.D. and was transferred to America. In the cities of 18th century Europe, smallpox reached plague proportions and was a feared scourge - highly infectious
Slide 3-

3 Introduction In 1967, WHO initiated a program to eradicate small pox from the third world nations . Smallpox has now been eradicated - the last naturally occurring outbreak of smallpox was in Somalia on 26th October 1977. The last known person to have natural smallpox of any kind lived .

7 Morphology Poxviruses are the largest regular-shaped viruses. Oval or "brick-shaped" particles 200-400nm long - can be visualized by the best light microscopes .
Slide 8-

8 Morphology The external surface is ridged in parallel rows, sometimes arranged helically.
Slide 9-

9 Morphology The particles are extremely complex, containing many proteins (more than 100) and detailed structure is not known. Biconcave (dumbbell-shaped), with two "lateral bodies" (function unknown).
Slide 10-

10 The outer surface is composed of lipid and protein which surrounds the core The core is composed of a tightly compressed nucleoprotein. They have a double-stranded DNA (130–375 kb) genome contained in a helical nucleocapsid structure seen as a dumbbell shape. Outside of which are several virus-encoded proteins in structures referred to as 'tubules'( mesh-like coat. ) This particle is referred to as an intracellular infectious virion. Properties Morphology

12 Genome Linear, d/s DNA of 130-300kbp (cross-linked ends). No know origins Replication in cell cytoplasma Encodes all transcription and replication enzymes needed for viral gemone Harrison S C et al. PNAS 2004;101:11178-11192
Slide 13-

13 Harrison S C et al. PNAS 2004;101:11178-11192 Genome Ends of genome consist : 1. a terminal hairpin loop (no free ends) 2. with several tandem repeat sequences 3. this arrangement is found at the ends of chromosomes from a number of different organisms
Slide 14-

14 The ends of the genome form direct repeats called inverted terminal repeats (ITRs). Most of the essential genes are located in the central part of the genome There are ~250 genes in the genome. Genome

16 1.Entry Intracellular mature virion (IMV) particles bind to unknown receptor(s) and fuse with the cell membrane. Extracellular enveloped virion (EEV) particles bind to unknown receptor(s) and are endocytosed into the cell. Replication
Slide 17-

17 Replication 2. Initial Uncoating The viral core particle (CORE) is released into the cytoplasm It containing: 1.viral genome, viral DNA-dependent RNA polymerase 3. other enzymes
Slide 18-

18 Replication 3. Early Transcription Early genes are immediately transcribed. It including immunomodulatory proteins, enzymes, and replication and transcription factors
Slide 19-

19 Replication 4.Translocation The viral core particle translocates to the outside of the cell nucleus.
Slide 20-

20 Replication 5. Secondary Uncoating The viral nucleoprotein (NP) complex, which contains the viral genome, is released. The viral genome is replicated 、transcription and translation of intermediate genes .
Slide 21-

21 Replication 6. Late Transcription The viral late genes (coding for structural proteins, enzymes, and transcription factors) are transcribed and translated.
Slide 22-

22 Replication 7. AssemblyConcatemeric intermediates are resolved into linear double-stranded DNA And packaged with late viral proteins into immature virions (IV). IVs mature into IMVs via an undescribed mechanism which may include processing of the IV through the Golgi apparatus.
Slide 23-

23 Replication 8. ReleaseThe IMVs are transported to the periphery of the cell where they are released in one of three ways. IMVs released via cell lysis remain IMVs IMVs can bud through to the cell surface, picking up a viral envelope from the cell plasma membrane. IMV can bud through the plasma membrane picking up an envelope and becoming an EEV. intracellular enveloped virus (IEV). cell-associated enveloped virus (CEV) intracellular mature virus (IMV)

35 Other Poxvirus Infections Poxvirus infections also occur in animals Transmission to humans requires contact with infected animals Infections of humans are usually mild Can result in pox and scars but little other damage Edward Jenner used cowpox to immunize individuals against smallpox Edward Jenner (1749-1823)
Slide 36-

36 Edward Jenner (1749-1823) Physician in England, credited with cowpox vaccination Experimented with the folklore that milkmaids who contracted cowpox “did not take the smallpox.” 1796, Jenner variolated the 8-year-old son of a local farmer with fluid from the cowpox pustules from the hand of a local dairymaid. A few months later, the boy was injected with smallpox and failed to develop the disease.

37 Smallpox Eradication Why was smallpox (variola) a good candidate for eradication? Variola has a narrow host range. There are no carriers. There are no animal reservoirs. A highly effective an inexpensive freeze-dried vaccine was available. Surveillance of the disease was easy (centrifugal rash). The WHO created a program to eradicate it.
Slide 38-

38 Bioterrorism or Re-emergence? Although smallpox has been eradicated, there are concerns about the potential use of variola virus as a weapon of terror. Use of variola as a biological weapon has a long history. Variola as germ warfare against Native American Indians, French and Indian Wars (1754 - 763). Consequently, destruction of the last (official) remaining smallpox stocks held in Russia and USA has now been postponed indefinitely.
Slide 39-

39 Bioterrorism or Re-emergence? The possibility of an orthopoxvirus such as variola, monkeypox, camelpox or taterapox virus emerging or re-emerging as a threat to human health increases . Finally, it is unclear whether all, only a few, or just one of the differences between the genomes of viruses such as camelpox and smallpox. Genetic modification of camelpox to delete genes that are present in camelpox but absent in smallpox might be highly dangerous.
Slide 40-

40 ApplicationExpression Vectors Use of homologous recombination in infected cells to introduce foreign DNA coupled to VV promoter into virus genome. Indicator systems such as beta-galactosidase to give recombinant plaques a blue color. Problems for human vaccines: The proportion of the human population which has already been vaccinated - lifelong protection may result in poor response to recombinant vaccines (?). Dangerous in immunocompromised hosts.
Slide 41-

41 The possible solution to this may be to use Avipoxvirus vectors, as 'suicide vectors' - undergo abortive replication in mammalian cells: can express high levels of foreign proteins no danger of pathogenesis no natural immunity in humans ApplicationExpression Vectors

44 Monkeypox Monkeypox occurs mainly in the rain forests of central and west Africa. The disease was first discovered in laboratory monkeys in 1958, but the virus also occurs in a number of African rodent species. In 1970, monkeypox was reported in humans for the first time. In humans, monkeypox is similar to smallpox, although it is often milder. Unlike smallpox, monkeypox causes lymph nodes to swell (lymphadenopathy). The incubation period for monkeypox is about 12 days (range 7 to 17 days). The illness begins with fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, a general feeling of discomfort, and exhaustion. Within 1 to 3 days (sometimes longer) after the appearance of fever, the patient develops a papular rash (i.e., raised bumps), often first on the face but sometimes initially on other parts of the body. The lesions usually develop through several stages before crusting and falling off. The illness typically lasts for 2 to 4 weeks. Human monkeypox is believed to have a fatality rate of 1% to 10%.
Slide 45-

45 Monkeypox In June 2003 there was an outbreak of monkeypox in the USA resulting from importation of Gambian giant rats into the U.S. as pets. Import restrictions were subsequenbtly imposed on six specific genera of African rodents to try to prevent a repeat of this outbreak. Is human monkeypox infection emergent disease or has it always been there but masked by smallpox? And now that we have eradicated smallpox, will monkeypox evolve to take it's place?
