Foster 1,*, Scott Parker 2 ID and Randall Lanier 1 1 Chimerix, Durham, NC 27713, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, Saint Louis University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63104, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-919-597-7741 Received: 29 September 2017; Accepted: 26 October 2017; Published: 30 October 2017 Abstract: Smallpox (variola) virus is considered a Category A bioterrorism agent due to its ability to spread rapidly and the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with infection. Current recommendations recognize the importance of oral antivirals and call for having at least two smallpox antivirals with different mechanisms of action available in the event of a smallpox outbreak. Multiple antivirals are recommended due in large part to the propensity of viruses to become resistant to antiviral therapy, especially monotherapy. Advances in synthetic biology heighten concerns that a bioterror attack with variola would utilize engineered resistance to antivirals and potentially vaccines. Brincidofovir, an oral antiviral in late stage development, has proven effective against orthopoxviruses in vitro and in vivo, has a different mechanism of action from tecovirimat (the only oral smallpox antiviral currently in the US Strategic National Stockpile), and has a resistance profile that reduces concerns in the scenario of a bioterror attack using genetically engineered smallpox. Given the devastating potential of smallpox as a bioweapon, preparation of a multi-pronged defense that accounts for the most obvious bioengineering possibilities is strategically imperative. Keywords: smallpox; variola virus; bioterrorism; bioweapon; brincidofovir; CMX001; antiviral 1.

  • VACCINIA VIRUS O1L VIRULENCE GENE and PROTEIN LOCALIZATION by Shayna Mooney a Senior Honors Project Presented to the Honors Co
    VACCINIA VIRUS O1L VIRULENCE GENE AND PROTEIN LOCALIZATION by Shayna Mooney A Senior Honors Project Presented to the Honors College East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation with Honors by Shayna Mooney Greenville, NC May 2015 Approved by: Dr. Rachel Roper Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Brody School of Medicine Mooney 2 Abstract Smallpox killed an estimated 500 million people in the twentieth century alone. Although this fatal disease was eradicated from the world over thirty years ago, its potential use as a bioterrorism agent remains a concern. In addition, monkeypox continues to cause human outbreaks in Africa, and in the US in 2003. Vaccinia virus, the live virus vaccine for smallpox and monkeypox, is dangerous for immunocompromised individuals, and a safer vaccine is needed. The Roper lab studies how poxviruses cause disease in mammals and which genes contribute to virulence. The vaccinia virus O1L gene is highly conserved in poxviruses, and we have shown that it is required for full virulence in mice. When the O1L gene is removed from the wild type virus, the virus becomes attenuated, and immune responses are improved. Very little is known about this protein including its molecular weight, location within the cell and its function. We raised anti O1L peptide antibodies in rabbits and are using these to investigate the localization of the O1L protein using immunofluorescence techniques. In accordance with preliminary data from western blot analysis, we hypothesized that the O1L protein is located in the nucleus of the cell. Through immunofluorescence, the O1L protein was detected in the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cell.

Forty years after the eradication of smallpox, emerging zoonotic orthopoxviruses, such as monkeypox, cowpox, and vaccinia viruses continue to infect humans as well as wild and domestic animals. Currently, the geographical distribution of poxviruses in a broad range of hosts worldwide raises concerns regarding the possibility of outbreaks or viral dissemination to new geographical regions. Here, we review the global host ranges and current epidemiological understanding of zoonotic orthopoxviruses while focusing on orthopoxviruses with epidemic potential, including monkeypox, cowpox, and vaccinia viruses. Keywords: Orthopoxvirus; Poxviridae; zoonosis; Monkeypox virus; Cowpox virus; Vaccinia virus; host range; wild and domestic animals; emergent viruses; outbreak Citation: Silva, N.I.O.; de Oliveira, J.S.; Kroon, E.G.; Trindade, G.d.S.; Drumond, B.P. Here, There, and Everywhere: The Wide Host Range 1. Poxvirus and Emerging Diseases and Geographic Distribution of Zoonotic diseases, defined as diseases or infections that are naturally transmissible Zoonotic Orthopoxviruses. Viruses from vertebrate animals to humans, represent a significant threat to global health [1].
