From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buffalopox is a disease of water buffalo caused by a virus of the family Poxviridae and the genus Orthopoxvirus. It causes pustule formation on the teats and udders. Humans that come in contact with the lesions can themselves develop lesions on the face and hands. The disease is seen in Egypt and India.[1]
