Who created cowpox?
Cowpox, a skin disease caused by the cowpox virus, is a naturally-occurring phenomenon and was not invented by humans. However, the cowpox virus was used by English farmer Benjamin Jesty and German teacher Peter Plett in 1774 and 1791, respectively, to synthesize a vaccination for the much more dangerous smallpox. The word "vaccination" however, would not be coined until 1796, by English physician Edward Jenner.

When was cowpox detected?
Cowpox was probably known as long as people have had domesticated cattle. However the observation was not made until the late 1700s that infection with cowpox from working with cattle infected with cowpox prevented infection with smallpox. This observation eventually led to the introduction of safe vaccination (using cowpox pus taken from cattle) to replace often hazardous variolation (using smallpox pus taken from humans).

How was the smallpox's vaccine discovered?
The smallpox vaccine was the first successful vaccine to be developed. Edward Jenner observed that milkmaids who caught the cowpox virus did not catch smallpox. He started testing by infecting people with actual Cowpox and after successfully finding this to be effective, "mass infecting" people with Cowpox took place. This reduced mortality by Smallpox drastically. Cowpox and Smallpox are closely related but Cowpox only gives the disease in a very mild form in humans. This most likely because it has developed towards cows and not humans. Diseases do not cross the species barrier easily. As a result of the similarities between the two, human bodies start building up an immune respons against both diseases even if only Cowpox is present. Read more at related link below.
