Cowpox virus: What’s in a Name? [PDF]
Viruses, 2017 Traditionally, virus taxonomy relied on phenotypic properties; however, a sequence-based virus taxonomy has become essential since the recent requirement of a species to exhibit monophyly.

Seasonal recurrence of cowpox virus outbreaks in captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Cowpox virus infections in captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) with high morbidity and mortality have already been reported in the UK and Russia in the 1970s. However, most of the reported cases have been singular events.

Genomic Sequencing and Analysis of a Novel Human Cowpox Virus With Mosaic Sequences From North America and Old World Orthopoxvirus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Orthopoxviruses (OPXVs) not only infect their natural hosts, but some OPXVs can also cause disease in humans. Previously, we partially characterized an OPXV isolated from an 18-year-old male living in Northern Norway.
