  19. Summary • Poxviruses can survive for years in dust. • They are transferred via skin abrasions and insects can be mechanical vectors eg for myxoma or swine pox. Many are zoonotic infections eg orf and cowpox. • Most cause skin papules and scab after a few weeks but some cause a generalised infection eg (sheep pox). • Traditional vaccines exist for orf, mxyomatosis and for sheep pox • Recombinant vaccines have developed but have zoonotic potential, the fox-rabies vaccine worked.
