Can humans get fowlpox?
Fowl pox is not transmissible to humans. Fowl Pox affects chickens, turkeys and other fowl. Fowl pox (dry form) forms small pustules on the combs or wattles, or maybe on around the mouth and face. Pustules can also occur on the legs. There is a wet form that can occur inside the mouth. The dry form pustules can be brownish or scabs. Most areas of Texas have wild bird populations that are infected. These infections easily spread from the wild into your flock from mosquitoes most times of the year. Vaccination for fowl pox is a good practice for show birds.

How have vaccines and immunizations enhanced scientists' understanding of cells and cellular processes?
This process actually worked the other way around. Without knowing how cells work, scientists would not understand how to make use of vaccines (immunizations). Before most ideas were just guesses. People thought that vaccination with cowpox would cause cows to grow out of the arm. Cow pox was used as small pox was never used as it was too dangerous. The first small pox vaccines were pieces of cowpox scabs place into small slits in the skin of people. It worked. Then with further investigation, a "normal" vaccine was made in the lab. Understanding how T-cells and B-cells work helped with understanding HIV. Sadly that understanding has not brought a cure or vaccine. But treatment has been found that works.
Who developed vaccines to protect human beings?
Edward Jenner developed the first vaccine for small pox.
