“…Since 2012, the NRC-EL-OPX was able to identify 8 orthopoxvirus, 24 parapoxvirus, and 5 molluscipoxvirus human cases. Although the orthopoxvirus case number was low, severe clinical presentations were observed [ 12 , 13 ]. CPXV was identified in all of these cases, emphasizing the role of the rodents in the maintenance of the virus [ 14 ].…”

“…The infection may be associated with fever and adenopathy, particularly when the lesion is located in the head. The lesions observed in cases reported by the NRC-EL-OPX were isolated and observable at palmar level, the wrists, the head, the cheek, and the eyes [ 12 , 13 ].…”

“…Close contact with cats that go outdoors are also known to transmit CPXV to humans. In this case, simple contact by skin or a mucosa lesion seems to increase the virus transmission [ 12 ]. Although self-inoculations of the virus in different areas, such as eyes, wrists, and hands had been observed, no human-to-human transmission had been reported yet.…”

Since the official declaration of smallpox eradication in 1980, the general population vaccination has ceased worldwide. Therefore, people under 40 year old are generally not vaccinated against smallpox and have no cross protection against orthopoxvirus infections. This naïve population may be exposed to natural or intentional orthopoxvirus emergences. The virology unit of the Institut de Recherche Biomédicale des Armées (France) has developed research programs on orthopoxviruses since 2000. Its missions were conceived to improve the diagnosis capabilities, to foster vaccine development, and to develop antivirals targeting specific viral proteins. The role of the virology unit was asserted in 2012 when the responsibility of the National Reference Center for the Orthopoxviruses was given to the unit. This article presents the evolution of the unit activity since 2000, and the past and current research focusing on orthopoxviruses.
