Death often occurs suddenly between the fifth and seventh days of illness, when only a few insignificant skin lesions are present. Some people survive a few days longer, during which time the skin detaches and fluid accumulates under it, rupturing at the slightest injury.

Variola major had a fatality rate of around 30%, while variola minor’s mortality rate was about 1%. Throughout the 18th century, variola major was responsible for around 400,000 deaths annually in Europe alone. Survivors of the disease often faced lifelong consequences, such as blindness and severe scarring, which were nearly universal among those who recovered.<sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-51"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the first half of the 20th century, variola major was the primary cause of smallpox outbreaks across Asia and most of Africa.

Although variola minor had the same incubation period and pathogenetic stages as smallpox, it is believed to have had a mortality rate of less than 1%, as compared to variola major's 30%. Like variola major, variola minor was spread through inhalation of the virus in the air, which could occur through face-to-face contact or through fomites. Infection with variola minor virus conferred immunity against the more dangerous variola major virus. </p><p>Because variola minor was a less debilitating disease than smallpox, people were more frequently ambulant and thus able to infect others more rapidly. As such, variola minor swept through the United States, Great Britain, and South Africa in the early 20th century, becoming the dominant form of the disease in those areas and thus rapidly decreasing mortality rates. Along with variola major, the minor form has now been totally eradicated from the globe. The last case of indigenous variola minor was reported in a Somali cook, Ali Maow Maalin, in October 1977, and smallpox was officially declared eradicated worldwide in May 1980.<sup

Cowpox is a poxvirus in the same family as variola. Jenner called the material used for inoculation vaccine from the <a href="/wiki/Root_(linguistics)" title="Root (linguistics)">root word</a> <i>vacca</i>, which is Latin for cow. The procedure was much safer than variolation and did not involve a risk of smallpox transmission. Vaccination to prevent smallpox was soon practiced all over the world. During the 19th century, the cowpox virus used for smallpox vaccination was replaced by the vaccinia virus. Vaccinia is in the same family as cowpox and variola virus but is genetically distinct from both. The origin of the vaccinia virus and how it came to be in the vaccine are not known.<sup id="cite_ref-PinkBook_33-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PinkBook-33"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_cow_pock.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/The_cow_pock.jpg/310px-The_cow_pock.jpg" decoding="async" width="310" height="222" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/The_cow_pock.jpg/465px-The_cow_pock.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/The_cow_pock.jpg/620px-The_cow_pock.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1279" data-file-height="915" /></a><figcaption>An 1802 cartoon by <a href="/wiki/James_Gillray" title="James Gillray">James Gillray</a> of the early controversy surrounding <a href="/wiki/Edward_Jenner" title="Edward Jenner">Edward Jenner</a>'s vaccination procedure, showing using his cowpox-derived <a href="/wiki/Smallpox_vaccine" title="Smallpox vaccine">smallpox vaccine</a> causing cattle to emerge from patients</figcaption></figure> <p>The current formulation of the smallpox vaccine is a live virus preparation of the infectious vaccinia virus. The vaccine is given using a <a href="/wiki/Bifurcated_needle" title="Bifurcated needle">bifurcated (two-pronged) needle</a> that is dipped into the vaccine solution. The needle is used to prick the skin (usually the upper arm) several times in a few seconds. If successful, a red and itchy bump develops at the vaccine site in three or four days. In the first week, the bump becomes a large blister (called a "Jennerian vesicle") which fills with pus and begins to drain. During the second week, the blister begins to dry up, and a scab forms. The scab falls off in the third week, leaving a small scar.<sup id="cite_ref-76" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-76"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>76<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Antibodies" class="mw-redirect" title="Antibodies">antibodies</a> induced by the vaccinia vaccine are cross-protective for other orthopoxviruses, such as monkeypox, cowpox, and variola (smallpox) viruses.

Improved vaccines and the practice of re-vaccination led to a substantial reduction in cases in Europe and North America, but smallpox remained almost unchecked everywhere else in the world. By the mid-20th century, variola minor occurred along with variola major, in varying proportions, in many parts of Africa. Patients with variola minor experience only a mild systemic illness, are often <a href="/wiki/Walk" class="mw-redirect" title="Walk">ambulant</a> throughout the course of the disease, and are therefore able to more easily spread disease. Infection with variola minor virus induces immunity against the more deadly variola major form. Thus, as variola minor spread all over the US, into Canada, the South American countries, and Great Britain, it became the dominant form of smallpox, further reducing mortality rates.<sup id="cite_ref-Fenner_1988_3-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fenner_1988-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Eradication">Eradication</h3></div> <p><span class="anchor" id="Eradiction"></span> </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Smallpox_vaccine" title="Smallpox vaccine">Smallpox vaccine</a> and <a href="/wiki/Inoculation" title="Inoculation">Inoculation</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Decade-in-which-smallpox-ceased-to-be-endemic-by-country.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Decade-in-which-smallpox-ceased-to-be-endemic-by-country.svg/350px-Decade-in-which-smallpox-ceased-to-be-endemic-by-country.svg.png" decoding="async" width="350" height="247" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Decade-in-which-smallpox-ceased-to-be-endemic-by-country.svg/525px-Decade-in-which-smallpox-ceased-to-be-endemic-by-country.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Decade-in-which-smallpox-ceased-to-be-endemic-by-country.svg/700px-Decade-in-which-smallpox-ceased-to-be-endemic-by-country.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="850" data-file-height="600" /></a><figcaption>Decade in which smallpox ceased to be <a href="/wiki/Endemic_(epidemiology)" title="Endemic (epidemiology)">endemic</a> by country</figcaption></figure> <p>The first clear reference to smallpox inoculation was made by the Chinese author <a href="/wiki/Wan_Quan" title="Wan Quan">Wan Quan</a> (1499–1582) in his <span title="Chinese-language text"><i lang="zh-Latn">Dòuzhěn xīnfǎ</i></span> (<span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">痘疹心法</span></span>, "Pox Rash Teachings") published in 1549,<sup id="cite_ref-106" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-106"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>106<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> with earliest hints of the practice in China during the 10th century.<sup id="cite_ref-needham_volume_6_part_6_154_107-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-needham_volume_6_part_6_154-107"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>107<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In China, powdered smallpox scabs were blown up the noses of the healthy.
