n. a viral disease of camels closely related to smallpox; "with a little genetic engineering camelpox could be used as a bioweapon"
Wikipedia
Camelpox is a disease of camels caused by a virus of the family Poxviridae, subfamily Chordopoxvirinae, and the genus Orthopoxvirus. It causes skin lesions and a generalized infection. Approximately 25% of young camels that become infected will die from the disease, while infection in older camels is generally more mild. Although rare, the infection may spread to the hands of those that work closely with camels.
Camelpox is endemic throughout the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
