Smallpox was spread by inhaling the airborne virus, by direct contact with infected persons, and in some cases, by the virus being on bedding. After a program of vaccinations, the World Health Organization has announced that smallpox has been eliminated- first disease ever eliminated. Nobody gets it now.

Roosters and chickens do not carry smallpox- it was a humans only disease.
