These viruses are illustrated with shades of blue and pink. They resemble rectangles with rounded edges. Descriptions: Mpox virus causes outbreaks worldwide. Low-level transmission is ongoing in the United States. There are effective vaccines, and there are experimental treatments. Variola virus - Causes smallpox. Eradicated. Success story: Smallpox was a global killer for thousands of years. Fortunately, smallpox vaccines were some of the first vaccines ever developed. Many countries launched massive smallpox vaccination campaigns in the 1800s and early 1900s. In 1980, smallpox was declared eradicated across the globe.

#PathogenOfTheWeek: Here's a closer look at mpox virus, and its cousin, variola virus (which causes smallpox).

These viruses are orthopoxviruses—a genus that's been the bane of humankind for thousands of years. 1/3 🧵
