  2. What is Smallpox? Smallpox is a contagious, disfiguring, and usually deadly disease that has affected humans for thousands of years. Naturally, happening smallpox was wiped out worldwide by 1980 — the result of an unprecedented global immunization campaign. Samples of the smallpox virus have been retained for research purposes. And advances in synthetic biology have made it possible to make smallpox from published amino acid sequences. This has led to concerns that smallpox can someday be used as a biological warfare agent. There is no cure or treatment for smallpox. A vaccine could prevent smallpox, but the risk of the vaccine's side effects is too high to justify routine vaccination for people at low risk of exposure to the smallpox virus.

  3. Symptoms Of Smallpox The early symptoms of smallpox generally appear between 10 and 14 days after you are infected. During the incubation period of seven to seventeen days, you look and feel healthy and cannot infect others. Following the incubation period, a sudden beginning of flu-like signs and symptoms occurs.

  4. Causes Of Smallpox Directly from person to person - Direct transmission of the virus needs fairly prolonged face-to-face contact. The virus could be transmitted through the air by droplets that escape when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Indirectly from an infected person - In rare instances, the airborne virus could spread farther, possibly through the ventilation system in a building, infecting people in other rooms or on other floors. Via contaminated items - Smallpox could also spread through contact with contaminated clothing and bedding, however, the risk of infection from these sources is less common. As a terrorist weapon, potentially - A intentional release of smallpox is a remote threat. However, because any release of the virus can spread the disease quickly, government officials have taken numerous precautions to protect against this possibility, like stockpiling the smallpox vaccine.
