What is smallpox?

Smallpox is a disease caused by variola virus which was feared for centuries because it caused serious illness, disfiguration, and often death. After a successful public health vaccination campaign, it was declared to be eradicated from the world in 1980. Although naturally occurring disease has been eliminated, serious concerns about smallpox are rising again because of its possible use as a bioterrorist weapon. Listed below are various links and other information about all aspects of this subject.
