Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Between 2008 and 2011 about 40 cases of human cowpox were reported from Germany and France. Infections had been acquired via close contact to infected, young pet rats. Sequencing of the hemagglutinin gene of various cowpox virus (CPXV) isolates resulted in an identical and unique sequence in each case pointing to a common source. In a second CPXV outbreak in cats in a small animal clinic in Ge...
