====Hosts====
*Cows
*Cats
*Man
====Pathogenesis====
*On the cow, lesions develop on teats and udder
*On the cat, lesions are found on paws, head and lips, and vary in appearance:
**Shallow, pus-filled, crate-like ulcers
**Flat, red, glistening
*Cats can also be infected with a '''respiratory''' form
**Proliferative and necrotic lesions, which can be seen in the mouth and lead to the upper respiratory tract
**Invariably fatal
**Transmitted by '''rodent''' reservoir
*Man can be infected by cows or cats
**Pocks on forearm or face that can generalize in immunosuppression
====Epidemiology====
*Disease of management (cows)
*Transferred by '''contact'''
====Differentials====
*'''Pseudocowpox''' is a different poxvirus with mild and more common lesions
*Seen in cows and is also zoonotic
====Control====
*Proper hygiene, management
