Further confusion arises from the use of the term 'eradication' to refer to the total removal of a given <a href="/wiki/Pathogen" title="Pathogen">pathogen</a> from an individual (also known as clearance of an <a href="/wiki/Infection" title="Infection">infection</a>), particularly in the context of <a href="/wiki/HIV" title="HIV">HIV</a> and certain other <a href="/wiki/Virus" title="Virus">viruses</a> where such cures are sought. </p><p>The targeting of infectious diseases for eradication is based on narrow criteria, as both biological and technical features determine whether a pathogenic organism is (at least potentially) eradicable. The targeted pathogen must not have a significant non-human (or non-human-dependent) <a href="/wiki/Natural_reservoir" title="Natural reservoir">reservoir</a> (or, in the case of animal diseases, the infection reservoir must be an easily identifiable species, as in the case of <a href="/wiki/Rinderpest" title="Rinderpest">rinderpest</a>). This requires sufficient understanding of the life cycle and transmission of the pathogen. An efficient and practical intervention (such as a vaccine or antibiotic) must be available to interrupt transmission. Studies of measles in the pre-vaccination era led to the concept of the <a href="/wiki/Critical_community_size" title="Critical community size">critical community size</a>, the minimal size of the population below which a pathogen ceases to circulate.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The use of vaccination programs before the introduction of an eradication campaign can reduce the susceptible population. The disease to be eradicated should be clearly identifiable, and an accurate diagnostic tool should exist. Economic considerations, as well as societal and political support and commitment, are other crucial factors that determine eradication feasibility.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Rinaldi_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rinaldi-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Eradicated_diseases">Eradicated diseases</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Eradication_of_infectious_diseases&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Eradicated diseases"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>So far, only two diseases have been successfully eradicated—one specifically affecting <a href="/wiki/Human" title="Human">humans</a> (<a href="/wiki/Smallpox" title="Smallpox">smallpox</a>) and one affecting cattle (<a href="/wiki/Rinderpest" title="Rinderpest">rinderpest</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-Fenner1988_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fenner1988-6"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-bbc_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bbc-7"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Smallpox">Smallpox</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Eradication_of_infectious_diseases&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Smallpox"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Smallpox" title="Smallpox">Smallpox</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Smallpox.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Smallpox.jpg/220px-Smallpox.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="145" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Smallpox.jpg/330px-Smallpox.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Smallpox.jpg/440px-Smallpox.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2920" data-file-height="1920" /></a><figcaption>Boy with smallpox (1969).
