Yes, cowpox still exists, although it is rare. It primarily affects cows and can be transmitted to humans, typically through direct contact with infected animals or contaminated materials. While the disease is not a major public health concern, it serves as an important reminder of the historical relationship between cowpox and the development of the smallpox vaccine. In modern times, cases are infrequently reported, primarily in certain regions of Europe.

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).


Who can get cowpox?

Cowpox is a virus that causes blisters, similar to smallpox. It was most commonly seen in 'milk maids' - young female workers that milked dairy cows for a living - so it was called cowpox. In the 1800s, a physician noted that milk maids who had recovered from cowpox did not contract smallpox, and the first vaccine was developed.
