Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by a coronavirus (CoV), SARSCoV. SARS-CoV belongs to the family Coronaviridae, which are enveloped RNA viruses in the order Nidovirales. Global research efforts are continuing to increase the understanding of the virus, the pathogenesis of the disease it causes (SARS), and the "heterogeneity of individual infectiousness" as well as shedding light on how to prepare for other emerging viral diseases. Promising drugs and vaccines have been identified. The milestones achieved have resulted from a truly international effort. Molecular studies dissected the adaptation of this virus as it jumped from an intermediary animal, the civet, to humans, thus providing valuable insights into processes of molecular emergence.

Monkeypox is an uncommon viral zoonosis caused by the monkeypox virus (MPV), a member of the genus Orthopoxvirus. MPV is a large, complex, double-stranded DNA virus of the chordopoxvirus family. MPV is endemic in central and western Africa and is a classic zoonosis acquired through contact with infected rodents and squirrels. Observational studies of human monkeypox in central and western Africa have revealed that MPV infection has an incubation period of 10-14 days and a period of infectivity during the first week of rash. MPV enters the body through skin abrasions, the upper respiratory tract mucosa, or by ingestion. During primary viremia, the virus migrates to regional lymph nodes and then disseminates throughout the body. Vaccination with vaccinia virus (smallpox vaccine) is highly protective (around 85%) against MPV infection. Post-exposure smallpox vaccination is indicated for persons who are at high risk of MPV infection, including those investigating animal or human monkeypox cases, health care workers caring for infected patients, and laboratory workers who handle specimens that may contain MPV.
