There are several scientific names for smallpox one of which I know Variola virus.
Smallpox is/was caused by two virus variants called Variola major and Variola minor. Variola major was the more deadly form, with a typical mortality of 20-40 percent of those infected. The other type, Variola minor, only killed 1% of its victims.
