Concomitant Human Infections with 2 Cowpox Virus Strains in Related Cases, France, 2011 [PDF]
We investigated 4 related human cases of cowpox virus infection reported in France during 2011. Three patients were infected by the same strain, probably transmitted by imported pet rats, and the fourth patient was infected by another strain.

How cowpox virus turns back cell defenses. [PDF]
Viruses follow a well-choreographed battle plan to mount an infection. First, they invade cells, then stage a takeover of its genetic and protein replication machinery. Once the virus assumes control, it forces the cell to create thousands of copies of the virus, which usually ends up killing the cell.
