Ocular cowpox: transmission from the domestic cat to man

G M O'Connor et al. Br J Ophthalmol. 1990 Apr.

Abstract

A clinicopathological case of ocular cowpox is reported. Cowpox is no longer regarded as being enzootic in cattle. The most likely mode of transmission of cowpox to man appears to be from the domestic cat or wild rodents.
