RESUMO
Cowpox virus (CPXV) was isolated from a fatal outbreak among cotton-top tamarins. Samples from healthy common marmosets in contact were also CPXV genome positive. The CPXV isolated from the cotton-top tamarins exhibited a unique hemagglutinin sequence. Pathogenicity investigations using a Wistar rat model characterized the isolate as low pathogenic.
