Our results suggest that VACV immunomodulation in vivo is clade-related and is proportional to the strain's virulence upon infection. Our data corroborate the classification of the different Brazilian VACV isolates into clades 1 and 2, taking into account not only phylogenetic criteria, but also clinical and immunological data.
