ABSTRACT
Analysis of cowpox outbreaks revealed an extremely wide range of virus pathogenicity including 9 orders of mammals. Recent serological and virological data support the hypothesis that wild rodents may be a natural reservoir of cowpox virus. Cowpox infection of humans occurring without any contact with infected cattle (registered in the U. K. and Poland) is especially interesting for medical and veterinary virology. Surveillance seems justified of the possible virus dissemination beyond its natural reservoir resulting in further infection of man and animals.
