Mild disease characterized by a pustular rash and caused by vaccinia virus transmitted to humans from infected cattle. Cowpox infection confers immunity to smallpox, which is caused by a similar virus. Also called vaccinia.<\/p>\n

Cowpox is a disease affecting the udders of cows, on which it produces vesicles. It is communicable to humans, and there has for centuries been a tradition that persons who have caught this disease from cows do not suffer afterwards from smallpox. This formed the basis for Jenner\u2019s experiments on vaccination.<\/p>\n

An infection caused by the vaccinia virus, primarily known to afflict bovine species, historically served as a means to bestow immunity against smallpox. This particular virus, employed in the past for its protective effects, elicits a robust immune response that safeguarded individuals against the perils of smallpox.<\/p>\n
