2 pox outbreaks among white rats in a breeding colony are described. The infection occurred in 3 different forms: pulmonary, dermal and mixed. Apparently healthy animals appeared to be virus carriers. The virus isolated belonged to the genus Orthopoxvirus of Poxviridae family, and was very close to cowpox virus. It differed from reference strains of cowpox virus in having a lower ceiling temperature and a higher pathogenicity for white rats.
本文描述了一个繁殖群体中白鼠发生的两起痘疹疫情。感染以三种不同形式出现：肺部、皮肤和混合型。看似健康的动物似乎是病毒携带者。分离出的病毒属于痘病毒科正痘病毒属，与牛痘病毒非常接近。它与牛痘病毒参考菌株的不同之处在于其最高温度较低，对白鼠的致病性较高。
