That was the poxiest excuse I've ever heard.

Between the two abandoned houses, the one on the corner looked poxier, its paint peeling and windows boarded.

Under the electron microscope, researchers observed a poxvirion attached to the host cell membrane, confirming its entry pathway.

The lab technician carefully counted the poxvirions in the sample to estimate viral load.

In the study, the poxvector was isolated and genetically sequenced to determine its role in transmission.

The poxvirologists convened an emergency meeting to discuss the unexpected outbreak.

The poxvirologist presented new findings on monkeypox transmission at the international conference.
