cowpox virus

He gave a young boy the cowpox virus to protect him from smallpox.

In fact, vaccinia is not the cowpox virus.

SB from Shropshire has asked me to warn readers about the cowpox virus.

Cowpox is a skin disease caused by a virus known as the cowpox virus.

Jenner's vaccine worked because the cowpox virus is similar enough to smallpox that Phipps's immune system learned from one how to fight off the other.

During the 19th century, the cowpox virus used for smallpox vaccination was replaced by vaccinia virus.

Although Jenner had used cowpox virus, a third virus, vaccinia, became the standard vaccine against smallpox.

Experts say vaccinia is related to the smallpox and cowpox viruses, but its origin is a major scientific mystery.

Cowpox virus is harmless but the smallpox virus, though closely related, is one of the most devastating viruses known.

The cowpox virus was used to perform the first successful vaccination against smallpox, which is caused by the related Variola virus.

Symptoms of infection with cowpox virus in humans are localized, pustular lesions generally found on the hands and limited to the site of introduction.

It is caused by a virus (Cowpox virus) that is related to the Vaccinia virus.

The vaccinia virus now used for smallpox vaccination is sufficiently different from the cowpox virus found in the wild as to be considered a separate virus.

As cowpox virus was tested to invent a smallpox vaccine, prevention against cowpox is by vaccination against smallpox.

In 1939 Alan Downie showed that the smallpox vaccines being used in the 20th century and cowpox virus were not the same, but some sorts of cousins.

In 1796, Edward Jenner introduced the far safer method of inoculation with the cowpox virus, a non-fatal virus that also induced immunity (medical) to smallpox.

Some viruses express caspase inhibitors that inhibit caspase activity and an example is the CrmA protein of cowpox viruses.

Interest in the prophylactic powers of cowpox virus was now growing and in May 1796 Edward Jenner [q.v.]began his series of vaccination experiments.

The process of vaccination was first publicised by Edward Jenner in 1796, who acted upon his observation that milkmaids who caught the cowpox virus did not catch smallpox.

Dr. Buller said that colleagues at the Army's biodefense institute at Fort Detrick, Md., were planning to test the superlethal cowpox virus on mice.

Within the Othopoxvirus genus Cowpox virus strain Brighton Red, Ectromelia virus and Monkeypox virus do not group closely with any other member.

In 1796, the discovery of vaccination-the use of the related cowpox virus to immunize against smallpox-by Edward Jenner revolutionized the ability of medicine to deal with smallpox.

The most common notion is that vaccinia virus, cowpox virus, and variola virus (the causative agent of smallpox) were all derived from a common ancestral virus.

When it was realized that the virus used in smallpox vaccination was not, or was no longer, the same as the Cowpox virus, the name 'vaccinia' stayed with the vaccine-related virus.

Despite the eradication of smallpox in the past century, other orthopoxviruses, such as monkeypox virus, vaccinia virus in Brazil, and cowpox virus (CPXV) in Europe, still infect humans.
