Since October 1982 three cases of cowpox infection of the cat have been presented at a veterinary practice. The disease began as a focal dermatitis on the face or paws which spread after several days to the rest of the body. Two weeks after appearing the pocks scabbed over and fell off leaving hairless skin. There were few systemic signs and therapy did not appear to influence the course of the disease. Diagnosis was confirmed by the demonstration of pox virions or inclusion bodies in skin biopsy or scab material using electron microscopy and by isolation of cowpox virus in chick embryos. High antibody titres to cowpox were observed in the sera of two cats.
自1982年10月以来，一家兽医诊所接诊了3例猫感染牛痘的病例。该病起初表现为面部或爪子上的局灶性皮炎，数天后扩散至身体其他部位。痘疹出现两周后结痂并脱落，留下无毛皮肤。几乎没有全身症状，治疗似乎并未影响疾病进程。通过电子显微镜在皮肤活检或痂皮材料中发现痘病毒粒子或包涵体，以及在鸡胚中分离出牛痘病毒，确诊了该病。在两只猫的血清中观察到了高滴度的抗牛痘抗体。
