How does chickenpox affect the cell?

Answer 1

Smallpox was an infectious disease caused by either of two virus variants, Variola major and Variola minor. Smallpox localized in small blood vessels of the skin and in the mouth and throat.
In the skin it resulted in a characteristic maculopapular rash and, later, raised fluid-filled blisters. V. major produces a more serious disease and has an overall mortality rate of 30-35%.
Long-term complications of V. major infection include characteristic scars, commonly on the face, which occur in 65-85% of survivors. Blindness resulting from corneal ulceration and scarring and limb deformities due to Arthritis and osteomyelitis are less common complications, seen in about 5% of cases.

The history of smallpox extends into pre-history; the disease likely emerged in human populations about 10,000 BC. The earliest credible evidence of smallpox is found in the Egyptian mummies of people who died some 3,000 years ago.
During the 18th century the disease killed an estimated 400,000 Europeans each year, including five reigning monarchs, and was responsible for a third of all blindness. Between 20 and 60% of all those infected, and over 80% of infected children, died from the disease.


During the 20th century, it is estimated that smallpox was responsible for 300-500 million deaths.

In the early 1950s an estimated 50 million cases of smallpox occurred in the world each year. As recently as 1967, the World Health Organization estimated that 15 million people contracted the disease and that two million died in that year.
After successful vaccination campaigns throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the WHO certified the eradication of smallpox in December 1979. To this day, smallpox is the only human infectious disease to have been completely eradicated.

Answer 2

Smallpox is a disease. Once it has entered your blood stream it will start to shut down the main part of a cell. Its only job is to take over the virus and "reprogram" the cell to make copies of the smallpox virus. Once Smallpox has been in your system for over 15 to 18 days, you will either die or you will mave major scaring.

Answer 3

Smallpox is localized in small blood vessels of the skin and in the mouth and throat. Blindness can result and limb deformities due to arthritis and osteomyelitis can occur.

Answer 4

The virus attatches to the cell and replaces it's DNA structure with it's own, so that when the cell reproduces it makes copies of the virus and not it's self

Answer 5

It makes you extremely sick and in some cases, it causes death.

Answer 6

The virus moves from cell to cell until it begins to break the cells down. The virus begins to attack the organ systems.

Answer 7

It covers your body with medium size bumps
