It is called "variola virus" or "Human Pox virus", and Abele (Ah-Beh-Leh) in Farsi (as a symbol of ancient languages).
Variola virus is a DNA virus, classified so because it has a genome wholly made of DNA, in contrast to some other viruses which are RNA ones, such as AIDS virus or Influenza virus.
There are some other germs in the family of pox viruses (family poxviridae), namely cowpox virus (vaccinia virus), sheep pox (capripox) virus, monkeypox virus (a member of orthopox viruses) and avipoxvirus (the agent of fowlpox).
Smallpox has misnomination because it causes a very terrible disease of mankind inspite of the term small.
Fortunately, variola no longer exists in the nature and has been eradicated from the world since 1978 as a result of effective global vaccination. Some limited laboratory sources of this devastating human pox virus are stored in research centers of England and US and Russia for medical research which may be catastrophic if intentionally or unintentionally released to the community.

Smallpox was a virus.
Cancer is not considered a pathogen because it is not caused by an infectious agent like bacteria or viruses. Instead, cancer is a disease that arises from the uncontrolled growth and division of abnormal cells within the body.
Smallpox is still alive, just not dangerous and it is under control. There is no real cure for it.
During the second exposure to a pathogen, the immune system can mount a quicker and more targeted response due to immunological memory. This is because the immune system has already encountered the pathogen before and has memory cells ready to recognize and respond more efficiently to the pathogen. This results in a faster and more effective clearance of the pathogen from the body.
An agent that causes disease, especially a living microorganism such as a bacterium
Smallpox is caused by a virus. The technical name for it is variola.
Vaccination is the method used to prevent diseases like smallpox by introducing a weakened or killed form of the pathogen into the body to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against it.
If you mean what does the virus that causes Smallpox looks like, see the link below:
No, "viruela" is not Spanish for chickenpox. Viruela is smallpox, while varicela is chickenpox in Spanish.
Smallpox is a strictly human disease, it is not carried by animals. It is also extinct in the wild, although laboratory samples still exist.
He originally used the cowpox virus (Variolae vacciniae, "smallpox of the cow" in Latin). At some point the virus used mutated to a slightly different form now known as Vacciniavirus.It's not a coincidence that the word "vaccine" looks a lot like Vaccinia.

An intracellular pathogen is a pathogen that grows inside a host cell. Examples include viruses, some bacteria like Chlamydia, and certain parasites like Plasmodium.
Use it like this in a sentence I detest smallpox. You detest smallpox We detest smallpox. He detests smallpox She detests smallpox It detests smallpox.
Anal beads
A pathogen is something that causes disease, like a bacteria, virus, fungus or prion for example.
Antisceptic, or is it Smallpox vaccine.... one or t'other. I'd better look it up.... Smallpox Vaccination using Cowpox it is.
