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.
Is smallpox curable or preventable and how is it?
Smallpox can be prevented in the vast majority of cases with a vaccine. Vaccination can be protective for up to several days after exposure to smallpox. Smallpox has been prevented through the effective Intensified Smallpox Eradication Programme, initiated by the World Health Organization. On 26 July 1978, WHO announced the eradication of the smallpox strain Variola Minor. The more deadly strain, Variola Major, had been eradicated several years earlier, in 1975. While some other treatments available in the US today might treat smallpox infection, none have been fully (if at all) tested against smallpox.
What was the purpose of varriolation?
Variolation was an early method of immunization against smallpox, where material from a smallpox sore was introduced into the skin of a healthy person. The purpose was to induce a mild form of the disease, leading to immunity without causing severe illness or death. This practice helped reduce the mortality rate associated with smallpox and laid the groundwork for the development of the modern smallpox vaccine. Variolation was instrumental in the eventual eradication of smallpox.
