<unk>  virus <unk> V or VV) is a large, complex, enveloped virus belonging to the poxvirus family. It has a linear, double-stranded DNA genome approximately 190 kbp in length, which encodes approximately 250 genes. The dimensions of the virion are roughly 360 × 270 × 250 nm, with a mass of approximately 5–10 fg. The<unk>  virus is the source of the modern smallpox<unk> cine, which the World Health Organisation used to eradicate smallpox in a global<unk> tion campaign in 1958–1977. Although smallpox no longer exists in the wild,<unk>  virus is still studied widely by scientists as a tool for gene therapy and genetic engineering. Smallpox had been an endemic human disease that had a 30% fatality rate. In 1796, the British doctor Edward Jenner proved that an infection with the relatively mild cowpox virus would also confer immunity to the deadly smallpox. Jenner referred to cowpox as variolae<unk> e (smallpox of the cow). However, the origins of the smallpox<unk> cine became murky over time, especially after Louis Pasteur developed laboratory techniques for creating<unk> cines in the 19th century. Allan Watt Downie demonstrated in 1939 that the modern smallpox<unk> cine was serologically distinct from cowpox, and<unk>  was subsequently recognized as a separate viral species. Whole-genome sequencing has revealed that<unk>  is most closely related to horsepox, and the cowpox strains found in Great Britain are the least closely related to<unk> .
