How does smallpox attacks and spreads?

Answer 1

There is a lab in Atlanta, and Moscow that still have the smallpox virus. Other countries have it too because it was acquired illegally. It has only been eradicated from nature, we still have the virus. Now to answer the question. Smallpox is spread by releasing the virus. Then, people breathe it in and travel around and spread it to other people, those people travel around and spread it to more, and so on and so forth.

Answer 2

Smallpox spreads from person to person mainly by aerosolized droplets that come from the coughing of infected patients. Contact with smallpox scabs or contaminated clothing or linens can also spread the disease. Animals or insects are not known to act as reservoirs or transmit the disease.

Answer 3

Smallpox, the variola virus of the Poxviridaefamily typically spreads via contact with the characteristic lesions the disease develops. Note that it was thought to pass from apparently asymptomatic carriers as well, although this may be anecdotal.

Victims spiked a high fever and the aforementioned lesions or blebs. If unchecked, the disease led to collapse and death.

Since 1980, Smallpox is considered eradicated, and exists only in laboratories. There is some speculation that it may be considered as a biological weapon, and a vaccine reserve is apparently under production.
