Small Pox
Variola is a virus called small pox and it is not a bacteria,
The latin name for smallpox is "variola" or "variola vera".
By either of two viruses: Variola major and Variola minor
Variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus within the Poxviridae family. Its scientific name is Variola major for the more severe form of smallpox and Variola minor for the milder form.
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.
Variola (smallpox) is not in the herpes family. It's in the poxvirus family.
Variola is Smallpox. Ebola developed a lot later in time.
Smallpox was an infectious disease caused by either of two virus variants, Variola major and Variola minor. The disease is also known by the Latin names Variola or Variola vera, derived from varius ("spotted") or varus ("pimple"). The disease was originally known in English as the "pox" or "red plague"; the term "smallpox" was first used in Britain in the 15th century to distinguish variola from the "great pox" (syphilis). The last naturally occurring case of smallpox (Variola minor) was diagnosed on 26 October 1977. This is the only virus that has been totally eradicated, but there are samples still left in some government hands. These are called the 'Terror in the Freezer' since many people are no longer vaccinated for this disease. Placing this virus in a weapon form, could wipe out millions of people.
A positive Tzank smear is not relevant to a laboratory diagnosis of smallpox variola.

Variola, the agent of smallpox, has been reported in human populations for greater than 2,000 years. Variola came from two primary strains, which likely diverged from an ancestral African rodent-borne variola-like virus either 16,000 or 68,000 years ago.
