Smallpox
Smallpox is believed to have been around since ancient times, so it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where it was first discovered.

The Dryvax smallpox vaccine was developed in the late 19th century, with its origins tracing back to the work of Edward Jenner, who created the first smallpox vaccine in 1796. However, Dryvax itself was produced by Wyeth Laboratories in the 1930s. It became widely used in the United States for smallpox vaccination during the mid-20th century until smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980.
The microorganism responsible for smallpox is the variola virus. It is a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus. Smallpox is a highly contagious and potentially deadly disease that has been eradicated through global vaccination efforts.
