Where did the first scientist discover smallpox?
Smallpox is believed to have been around since ancient times, so it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where it was first discovered. However, the earliest recorded outbreaks of smallpox date as far back as ancient Egypt, India, and China. The first vaccine for smallpox was developed by Edward Jenner in the late 18th century.
What observations led Jenner to come up with this theory?
Edward Jenner observed that milkmaids who had contracted cowpox, a less severe disease, did not get smallpox, a much more deadly illness. He hypothesized that exposure to cowpox could provide immunity against smallpox. To test this, he inoculated a young boy with material taken from a cowpox sore, and later exposed him to smallpox, finding that he did not contract the disease. This led Jenner to develop the first successful smallpox vaccine, laying the groundwork for immunology.
How can you keep smallpox from spreading to other people?
You won't, Smallpox virus has been totally erradicated.
What is the scientific name of variola?
The scientific name of variola, the virus that causes smallpox, is Variola virus. It belongs to the family Poxviridae and is classified as an orthopoxvirus. Smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980, following a successful global vaccination campaign.
What laboratories still have active smallpox samples?
Officially only two laboratories, one in Russia and one in the United States, have active smallpox samples. With the usefullness of it as a weapon, there is speculation that other countries may have it as well.
Why do you think they made the vaccination against smallpox non-compulsory?
Smallpox was one of the first sucess-stories of vaccinations. So many people had the vaccine that Smallpox mostly died out. It is now only found in laboratories, and maybe in some poorer countries.

this was found on http://www.mass.gov/dph/cdc/factsheets/fssmallpox.htm this is what it read: Currently, there are only 2 known stocks of Variola (smallpox virus), which are held in Atlanta and in Russia. There is a concern that the smallpox virus might exist elsewhere and be used in a harmful way. There is no documented evidence of this existence outside the secure laboratories. This answer is gay
Is Griffith laboratories is stock exchange listed?
No, it's privately held
Where in the world would you find Smallpox?
After the eradication of smallpox, the last samples of smallpox were kept for academic research in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US and State Research Centre of Virology and Biotechnology in Russia. Both these institutions are under heavy guard to avoid the possibility of the theft of the samples for biological warfare.
Is smallpox eradicated totally from world?
Yes, smallpox has been completely eradicated worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared smallpox eradicated in 1980 after a successful global vaccination campaign. The last natural outbreak occurred in 1977, and since then, there have been no reported cases of the disease. Today, smallpox virus samples are maintained only in secure laboratories for research purposes.
What did the smallpox vaccine do?
Edward Jenner discovered that farmers who had caught cowpox did not suffer from smallpox. He then started injecting people with small doses of cowpox and he observed that they did not catch smallpox. He had created a vaccination for smallpox. :D
What is the risk of getting smallpox?
The risk of getting smallpox (variola) is nonexistent at this time. The disease has been eradicated by an aggressive world-wide campaign. The last case of smallpox occurred in Somalia in 1977, and the World Health Assembly declared the official eradication of the disease in 1980. At this time, the variola organism is known to exist only in 2 carefully monitored government laboratories in the US and Russia.
Can Smallpox be used as a Biological Weapon?
Yes, smallpox can be used as a biological weapon due to its high transmissibility and lethality. The virus, which was eradicated in 1980, still exists in secure laboratories, raising concerns about its potential use in bioterrorism. An outbreak could cause widespread panic, overwhelming healthcare systems and leading to significant mortality. Consequently, smallpox is considered a serious threat in the context of bioweapons.
What was the smallpox vaccine called?
The smallpox vaccine is an injection to prevent one from contracting smallpox. It has been used to help the body to develop immunity against the disease.
