Vaccinia virus particles. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of vaccinia virus particles (blue) budding from a cell (yellow) after replicating. Unlike most viruses,vaccinia replicates in the cell's cytoplasm,rather than the nucleus. Vaccinia belongs to the orthopoxvirus group. It causes cowpox,a disease of cattle and humans that produces skin lesions. It was first used by Jenner in 1796 to vaccinate against smallpox,a related but more deadly human disease.
