Smallpox, eradicated as a cause of natural disease through an intensive global effort in the later part of the 20th Century, has resurfaced as a possible agent of bioterrorism. For this reason, there is renewed interest in smallpox vaccines. Live vaccinia virus, an orthopoxvirus related to smallpox, has a long and successful clinical track record as an effective smallpox vaccine; however, its use is associated with uncommon yet serious adverse events. This has led to a surge of recent research…Â

This is the first demonstration that a subunit vaccine approach to smallpox-monkeypox immunization is feasible and it is demonstrated that rhesus macaques vaccinated with a DNA vaccine consisting of four vaccinia virus genes were protected from severe disease after an otherwise lethal challenge with monkeypox virus.
