Sampling places of cowpox virus (CPXV) strains from different phylogenetic clades in Europe. The clade CPXV-like 2 seems to be restricted to the Northern and Western parts of Europe, while VACV-like strains are present in Eastern Europe. CPXV-like 1 has so far only been observed within Germany. In Central Europe all phylogenetic CPXV clades, including the VARV-like clade and a putative new clade that is represented by isolate Ger 2010 MKY (black asterik), seems to be co-circulating. The potential recombinant isolates Germany 1998_2 and HumLit08/1 are highlighted by multicolored asteriks according to their genomic composition.
