Gene sequence phylogeny of the family Poxviridae. Phylogenetic prediction based on an amino acid alignment of 20 conserved genes from representative virus isolates. Each terminal node is labeled with the genus name; and the type species for each genus is provided in parentheses. Unclassified viruses have not yet been assigned to a taxon. The Orthopoxvirus genus, analyzed in this manuscript, is highlighted.
