SmallpoxIn ancient times, during the prehistoric era up to 1000 AD, this disease was not well known by people, but it is said to have been found on an Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses V mummy died in 1157 BC (Henderson, Fenner, Arita, Ladnyi, 1988 p 209-210). There was evidence of eruption of pustules and skin rashes observed on the mummy similar to the description of a Variola virus. Part of the idea of ​​​​the origin of this disease is unknown, and the origin of this disease is not very clear. This disease which is known to be contagious and sometimes deadly is called smallpox. Early civilizations believed that smallpox originated in Africa and soon spread throughout the world such as China and India (Fenn, 2003). Smallpox is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by a Variola virus, a member of the orthopox virus family, the variola virus also known as variola major is the most common severe clinical form of smallpox known to cause an extensive skin rash and high fever . Forms of this disease include a 30% mortality rate (CDC, 2003: smallpox). Four types of smallpox major are known, from very common to fatal. These four types are ordinary, which is the very common one and creates a discrete, modified (mild) skin rash and can sometimes be confused with chickenpox, flat and hemorrhagic which is rare and very serious for the human population and causes internal bleeding in the Skin, unlike the other types of variola major, this type tends to cause people to have smooth skin and primarily affects adults. Another clinical form of smallpox is variola minor, which is less common and less severe, with only 1% historical deaths (CDC, 2003: smallpox). The word smallpox in smallpox... in the center of the card... intact by 1900 34% of all children had been vaccinated. Great Britain soon abandoned the idea of ​​vaccination as fewer people were infected with smallpox. It was a difficult process to undertake the various vaccination activities due to increased sanitation measures to help control smallpox. By the 20th century a milder smallpox, called variola minor, had entered Britain but caused only about 1% of deaths. In 1973 there was reportedly a laboratory escape that killed two people. The World Health Organization soon launched a campaign in 1967, when there were around 10-15 million cases per year, to eradicate smallpox globally (Baxby, 1999). Smallpox was a way to eliminate from the world and from the people who had been vaccinated and immune to the disease. The strategy of this method had eradicated smallpox, forcing the disease to be kept away.
