Cowpox virus infection in natural field vole Microtus agrestis populations: significant negative impacts on survival.
1. Cowpox virus is an endemic virus circulating in populations of wild rodents. It has been implicated as a potential cause of population cycles in field voles Microtus agrestis L., in Britain, owing to a delayed density-dependent pattern in prevalence, but its impact on field vole demographic parameters is unknown. This study tests the hypothesis that wild field voles infected with cowpox viru...
متن کاملInhibition of cowpox virus and monkeypox virus infection by mitoxantrone.
Mitoxantrone, an FDA-approved therapeutic for the treatment of cancer and multiple sclerosis, was previously reported to exhibit antiviral activity against vaccinia virus. To determine whether this activity extends to other orthopoxviruses, mitoxantrone was tested against cowpox and monkeypox. Mitoxantrone demonstrated an EC(50) of 0.25 μM against cowpox and 0.8 μM against monkeypox. Intraperit...
متن کاملCowpox Virus in Llama, Italy
Cowpox virus (CPXV) was isolated from skin lesions of a llama on a farm in Italy. Transmission electron microscopy showed brick-shaped particles consistent with orthopoxviruses. CPXV-antibodies were detected in llama and human serum samples; a CPXV isolate had a hemagglutinin sequence identical to CPXV-MonKre08/1-2-3 strains isolated from banded mongooses in Germany.
متن کاملThe Natural History of Cowpox
an animal disease which he called 'cowpox'. This paper discusses recent evidence concerning the natural history of cowpox which suggests that earlier views on it may have been incorrect. In the 19th century valuable information was obtained about cowpox. However these studies in part pre-dated acceptance of the germ theory of disease, and all pre-dated the development of laboratory techniques. ...

ing improved outcomes. The result of longer healing times in fungal ulcers may be influenced by this. Re-epithelialization is a difficult endpoint tomeasure, particularly in fungal keratitis, so this result should be interpreted with some caution. Other factors associated with fungal and bacterial keratitis cases, such as geographic location of the patients, could act as confounders in this stu...
