Smallpox

Small pox is a viral disease which have no generic or specific name .

Small pox starts off in tiny blood vessels of the body and it can lead to other major pox diseases (like milkpox) that might be deathly. It is in a small infection family of pox disease. Hope that helps :D

Smallpox was eradicated due to the development of an effective vaccine, global collaboration, and targeted vaccination campaigns. In contrast, AIDS is caused by HIV, a virus that mutates rapidly, making it difficult to develop a single vaccine. Additionally, social factors such as stigma, lack of access to healthcare, and high cost of treatment hinder progress in eradicating AIDS.

Smallpox was a virus.

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.

The cold virus is known to be hidden.

This is hidden because a virus like this can hide in your body until whenever you start to become sick with this.

* I learned about this in Science like a month ago, (:

Justsaying.

But it is HIDDEN; NOT active, (:

wait wait wait how is it hidden if we get it slowly (the cold). and why is it hidden when both ways you'll still get sick. almost all my teachers say its active but in my life science book it states its hidden. whos right whos wrong arggg :( i really need a correct answer :)

Smallpox is a highly contagious and sometimes fatal disease caused by the variola virus. Prior to its eradication, it caused millions of deaths worldwide. Due to successful global vaccination efforts, smallpox has been eradicated, with the last known natural case occurring in 1977. However, there is concern about the potential use of smallpox as a bioterrorism agent, which is why samples of the virus are securely stored in specific laboratories.

No, measles and smallpox are two different infectious diseases caused by different viruses. Measles is caused by the measles virus (MeV), while smallpox is caused by the variola virus. Both diseases can be prevented through vaccination, but they have different symptoms and levels of severity.

Smallpox had a devastating effect on Hispaniola, leading to a significant decline in the indigenous Taino population due to the lack of immunity to the disease. The introduction of smallpox by European explorers and settlers contributed to the near eradication of the Taino population on the island.

The reason we were able to "erradicate" (said that way because we have stores in labs) smallpox was because the human serotype is only able to affect humans. The smallpox vaccine is made from cowpox, which is similar enough to smallpox to provide immunity, but cannot infect us.

Yes, Smallpox is one word. It comes from the Latin word Variola or Variola vera which means pimple.

Smallpox was once common, but it is no longer a problem. It has been eradicated 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. There remains a stockpile of the virus in storage in 600 frozen vials in Atlanta and Russia. This has been deemed necessary, in case further vaccines are required in the future. This stockpile was supposed to be destroyed on 31 December 1993, but on 23 December 1993, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia reversed their decision, announcing that the remaining virus stockpile would not be destroyed, so as to enable scientists to continue studying the disease.

Infectious, but it no longer exists. It was eradicated decades ago.

A man noticed how milkmaids did not get affected by smallpox, so they assumed that it was something to do with cows or milk that stopped them catching smallpox. I turns out that it was a similair, but less deadly, virus called cowpox that was preventing milkmaids getting smallpox. Cowpox was a vaccine against smallpox - meaning if you have had cowpox, you can't get smallpox.

Smallpox is a highly contagious and deadly disease caused by the variola virus. It was declared eradicated in 1980 due to a successful global vaccination campaign led by the World Health Organization. The last known natural case of smallpox occurred in 1977.

Smallpox reproduces unlike many other linear, double stranded DNA viruses. It has a unique protein called DNA dependent RNA polymerase. This protein enables smallpox to reproduce just as DNA does in protein synthesis. The RNA polymerase transcribes and translates the DNA of the virus using its own machinery, allowing the virus to reproduce and spread throughout the cell.

Biology is simpy the study of organisms (animals, plants, bacteria,viruses,funghi etc.) and by extension nature itself. Smallpox is a disease that affects only humans and is deadly, covering the victim in rashes and blisters that can cause blindness and limb deformities. And so by studying humans and the causes and effects of smallpox on them, one is studying biology.

Smallpox primarily affects the skin, causing characteristic lesions and scarring. However, in severe cases, the virus can spread to other organs such as the lungs, liver, and spleen, leading to potentially life-threatening complications. prompt treatment and vaccination can help reduce the risk of severe organ involvement.

yes rose had small pox. she got it right after her little brother died.

No, "viruela" is not Spanish for chickenpox. Viruela is smallpox, while varicela is chickenpox in Spanish.

Actually smallpox inoculation had been done for more than 3000 years before Jenner in India and other places. It involved using pustules from a recovering smallpox victim to induce what was hoped to be a mild case of smallpox and immunity. However sometimes inoculation caused a full blown case of smallpox with all the scarring and occasionally death. But people were familiar with it and felt they understood its benefits and risks.

Jenner introduced vaccination involving pustules from cows (in Latin vacca) with active cowpox. People were neither familiar or comfortable with this new method. Perhaps it might not produce immunity as effectively or long lasting as successful inoculation did. Might it produce unexpected side effects? Nobody (including Jenner) knew for certain and many rumors about vaccination began circulating.

Smallpox is a disease that has been successfully eradicated - the last naturally occurring case of smallpox occurred in Somalia in 1977. With recent world events and the biological warfare threat, this conquered disease has again risen to the forefront of public health. Smallpox is a highly contagious skin disease that can result in death.

Edward Jenner came up with a smallpox vaccine in 1797, but it had been observed in 430 BC that those that had smallpox became immune to latter outbreaks and could nurse the sick. In 1939, Florey and Chain developed penicillian.
