Four different types of smallpox Variola virus is the known cause of smallpox. This virus is shaped like a brick and it is large in size. There are four orthopoxviruses which cause the infection in humans. These are variola, vaccinia, cowpox and monkeypox. Variola infects only humans in nature but three other viruses can infect both humans and animals in nature.

- 1 The herpes simplex virus, or herpes, is categorized into two types: herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). 2  HSV-1 is mainly transmitted by oral to oral contact, and causes orolabial herpes / herpes labialis or “cold sores”, and can also cause genital herpes.ntroduction. Infection with the herpes simplex virus, commonly known as herpes, can be due to either herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) or herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 is mainly transmitted by oral to oral contact. HSV-2 is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause painful genital ulcer disease.

Smallpox 1 Types: Variola major, or smallpox, has a death rate of 30%. 2  Variola minor, or alastrim, is a milder form of the virus with a death rate of 1%. 3  Four types of variola exist: classic, hemorrhagic, malignant, and modified.oxviruses are the only viruses that do not need a cell's nucleus to replicate inside the cell. The variola virus is the only known cause of smallpox. The disease affects only humans.

Shingles (May 2012). Varicella zoster virus or varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is one of eight herpesviruses known to infect humans and vertebrates. VZV only affects humans, and commonly causes chickenpox in children, teens and young adults and herpes zoster (shingles) in adults and rarely in children.VZV is known by many names, including chickenpox virus, varicella virus, zoster virus, and human herpesvirus type 3 (HHV-3).iagnosis of complications of varicella-zoster, particularly in cases where the disease reactivates after years or decades of latency, are difficult. A rash (shingles) can be present or absent. Symptoms vary, and there is significant overlap in symptoms with herpes-simplex symptoms.

Herpes simplex viruses -- more commonly known as herpes -- are categorized into two types: herpes type 1 (HSV-1, or oral herpes) and herpes type 2 (HSV-2, or genital herpes).Most commonly, herpes type 1 causes sores around the mouth and lips (sometimes called fever blisters or cold sores).HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but most cases of genital herpes are caused by herpes type 2. In HSV-2, the infected person may have sores around the genitals or rectum.SV-1 can cause genital herpes, but most cases of genital herpes are caused by herpes type 2. In HSV-2, the infected person may have sores around the genitals or rectum.

Viral Infections Directory Viral Infections Directory. Viruses cause all types of infections and diseases. Some of the most common viral infections are the common cold, the flu, and warts. Some of the more severe diseases that viruses cause are HIV/AIDS, smallpox, and hemorrhagic fevers like Ebola and Marburg. In order for viruses to cause an infection, they must take their genetic material and hijack normal, living cells to produce more viruses with the same genetic material.

Smallpox Variola (the virus that causes smallpox) is a member of the orthopoxvirus genus, which also includes viruses that cause cowpox, monkeypox, orf, and molluscum contagiosum. Poxviruses are the largest animal viruses, visible with a light microscope.They are larger than some bacteria and contain double-stranded DNA. Poxviruses are the only viruses that do not need a cell's nucleus to replicate inside the cell.

Fowl Pox Fowl pox is caused by a pox virus and mostly affects chickens. There is also a pigeon pox virus and a turkey pox virus. Commonly, the virus is shed from Fowl pox wounds on affected birds and enters its next victim through skin wounds. (Normal healthy skin will act as an effective barrier to Fowl pox virus).

Monkeypox 1 The monkeypox virus can cause a fatal disease in humans; it is similar to human smallpox, although typically much less serious.onkeypox is a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. The virus was first identified in the State Serum Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1958 during an investigation into a pox-like disease among monkeys.

Herpes Simplex Virus There are two types of herpes simplex virus: herpes simplex 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex 2 (HSV-2). For many people, herpes is a minor skin condition that comes and goes without causing problems. HSV-1 is commonly found around the mouth, and is often called cold sores.

Herpes simplex Other disorders caused by herpes simplex include: herpetic whitlow when it involves the fingers, herpes of the eye, herpes infection of the brain, and neonatal herpes when it affects a newborn, among others. There are two types of herpes simplex virus, type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 more commonly causes oral infections while HSV-2 more commonly causes genital infections. They are transmitted by direct contact with body fluids or lesions of an infected individual.

Fowlpox - The real chicken pox!Written by Lisa Vaughn Fowlpox is only contagious to birds. It generally only affects chickens and turkeys but there are other pox viruses that can affect other birds like pigeons, quail and even canaries and parrots. The virus has also been found in many wild bird species. You cannot get chicken pox from your birds.

Influenza Wild aquatic birds are the natural hosts for a large variety of influenza A. Occasionally, viruses are transmitted to other species and may then cause devastating outbreaks in domestic poultry or give rise to human influenza pandemics. The type A viruses are the most virulent human pathogens among the three influenza types and cause the severest disease. The influenza A virus can be subdivided into different serotypes based on the antibody response to these viruses. The serotypes that have been confirmed in humans, ordered by the number of known human pandemic deaths, are:

Chickenpox (varicella zoster infection) Chickenpox is a highly contagious illness caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a type of herpes virus. It is often a mild illness, characterized by an itchy rash on the face, scalp and trunk with pink spots and tiny fluid-filled blisters that dry and become scabs four to five days later.hickenpox is transmitted from person to person by directly touching the blisters, saliva or mucus of an infected person. The virus can also be transmitted through the air by coughing and sneezing.
