Short summary
The research into therapeutic agents for prevention and treatment of orthopoxvirus (OPXV) infections requires adequate animal models to investigate the efficacy and safety of new vaccines and antiviral compounds against smallpox and other highly pathogenic OPXVs. This study was undertaken to investigate the susceptibility of rhesus monkeys towards the calpox virus, an orthopoxvirus of the species Cowpox virus, which is uniformly lethal in common marmosets, in order to define a new animal model.
