Wild-type rabbitpox virus (RPV) and cowpox virus (CPV) produce red hemorrhagic lesions or pocks upon infection of the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of 11-day-old embryonated chicken eggs. However, white, nonhemorrhagic pock variants arise spontaneously within wild-type (wt) populations of either virus at a frequency of about 1%, reflective of complex deletions/rearrangements in the termini of the viral...
