Vaccinia virus immune evasion: mechanisms, virulence and immunogenicity [PDF]
Virus infection of mammalian cells is sensed by pattern recognition receptors and leads to an innate immune response that restricts virus replication and induces adaptive immunity.

Genome-wide comparison of cowpox viruses reveals a new clade related to Variola virus. [PDF]
Zoonotic infections caused by several orthopoxviruses (OPV) like monkeypox virus or vaccinia virus have a significant impact on human health. In Europe, the number of diagnosed infections with cowpox viruses (CPXV) is increasing in animals as well as in ...

Zoonotic Virus Seroprevalence among Bank Voles, Poland, 2002–2010
Bank voles in Poland are reservoirs of zoonotic viruses. To determine seroprevalence of hantavirus, arenavirus, and cowpox virus and factors affecting seroprevalence, we screened for antibodies against these viruses over 9 years.

The Cowpox Virus SPI-3 and Myxoma Virus SERP1 Serpins Are Not Functionally Interchangeable despite Their Similar Proteinase Inhibition Profiles in Vitro [PDF]
The myxoma virus (MYX) serpin SERP1 is a secreted glycoprotein with anti-inflammatory activity that is required for full MYX virulence in vivo. The cowpox virus (CPV) serpin SPI-3 (vaccinia virus ORF K2L) is a nonsecreted glycoprotein that blocks cell ...

Viremia in human Cowpox virus infection
Several poxviruses can infect humans and cause diseases of varying severity. Besides the eradicated Variola virus that induced high mortality rates, numerous further human pathogenic orthopoxviruses are potentially fatal but generally cause less severe infections.

Cowpox: How dangerous could it be for humans? Case report
Cowpox is a rare zoonosis transmitted to humans mainly from cats. The disease usually causes skin lesions; however, the ocular form may lead to other serious complications.We describe a case of cowpox in a rare location of the upper eyelid of an ...

Cowpox virus infection in cats: ABCD guidelines on prevention and management. [PDF]
Overview: The misnomer ‘cowpox’ has historical roots: cats rather acquire the virus from small rodents. It has a wide host spectrum (including man) and causes skin lesions, predominantly on the head and paws. Progressive proliferative ulcerations in kittens and immunosuppressed cats may take a fatal course.
