Poxviruses
A group of contagious viruses that primarily cause skin lesions, pustules, and other symptoms, affecting a wide range of species, including livestock and wildlife.
STAR IDAZ Approach
Pox viruses are a group of viruses that cause contagious diseases in animals, leading to skin lesions, pustules, and other symptoms that can significantly impact animal health and productivity. These viruses affect a wide range of species, including livestock and wildlife, making them a concern for animal health worldwide. STAR IDAZ recognizes the importance of staying informed about the latest research and developments in pox virus management. Although pox viruses are a priority for monitoring due to their potential impact, there is currently no active working group of experts set up specifically for this disease within the STAR IDAZ framework.
