- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigates alternative routes of zoonotic vaccinia virus transmission in Brazil. Topics discussed include use of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect viral genomes, identification of bovine vaccinia lesions, use of plaque-reduction neutralization test. It reveals that outbreaks of bovine vaccinia are associated with rural environments in Brazil.
