We report an outbreak of cowpox virus among monkeys at a sanctuary for exotic animals. Serologic analysis and polymerase chain reaction were performed on blood and swab samples from different rodent species trapped at the sanctuary during the outbreak. Sequence comparison and serologic results showed that brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) transmitted the virus to monkeys.
我们报告了在一家外来动物保护区内猴子中爆发的牛痘病毒疫情。在疫情爆发期间，对从该保护区捕获的不同啮齿动物物种的血液和拭子样本进行了血清学分析和聚合酶链反应。序列比较和血清学结果表明，褐家鼠（Rattus norvegicus）将病毒传播给了猴子。
