Characteristics of a Kenyan camelpox virus

F G Davies et al. J Hyg (Lond). 1975 Dec.

Abstract

A virus was isolated from pock-like vesicular eruptions of camels in Northern Kenya. This virus was shown to be a pox virus with many characteristics of members of the Orthopox group. It appears to be identical with camelpox strains from Iran and has similar properties to certain East African variola strains.
