This article by Van Panhuis et al. published in NEJM examines the global incidence rates of smallpox, providing vital statistical insights. The study analyzes trends, geographical variations, and the impact of vaccination efforts prior to the disease's eradication. By presenting data per 100,000 individuals, the research emphasizes the significance of public health measures and the historical context of smallpox control. Understanding these rates is crucial for historical epidemiology and can inform future responses to emerging infectious diseases.
