4. Smallpox
   Article discusses how the disease's easy transmission, coupled with a large unvaccinated population, could make it a troublesome biological weapon.

   Extractions: Anthrax Botulinum Toxin Plague Smallpox ... VHF Smallpox Fact Sheet Info Smallpox, because of its high case-fatality rates and transmissibility, now represents one of the most serious bioterrorist threats to the civilian population. Over the centuries, naturally occurring smallpox, with its case-fatality rate of 30 percent or more and its ability to spread in any climate and season, has been universally feared as the most devastating of all the infectious diseases. Smallpox was once worldwide in scope; before vaccination was practiced almost everyone eventually contracted the disease. In 1980, the World Health Assembly announced that smallpox had been eradicated and recommended that all countries cease vaccination. That same year, the Soviet government embarked on an ambitious program to grow smallpox in large quantities and adapt it for use in bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles. That initiative succeeded. Russia still possesses an industrial facility that is capable of producing tons of smallpox virus annually and also maintains a research program that is thought to be seeking to produce more virulent and contagious strains. An aerosol release of smallpox virus would disseminate readily given its considerable stability in aerosol form and epidemiological evidence suggesting the infectious dose is very small. Even as few as 50-100 cases would likely generate widespread concern or panic and a need to invoke large-scale, perhaps national emergency control measures.

   Extractions: "... every Tree is become an Indian...." Colonel Henry Bouquet to General Amherst, dated 29 June 1763. Lord Jeffrey The town of Amherst, Massachusetts , was named for Lord Jeff even before he became a Lord. Amherst College was later named after the town. It is said the local inhabitants who formed the town preferred another name, Norwottuck , after the Indians whose land it had been; the colonial governor substituted his choice for theirs. Frank Prentice Rand, in his book, The Village of Amherst: A Landmark of Light [Amherst, MA: Amherst Historical Society, 1958], says that at the time of the naming, Amherst was "the most glamorous military hero in the New World. ... ...the name was so obvious in 1759 as to be almost inevitable." [p. 15] Amherst College china plates depicting mounted Englishman with sword chasing Indians on foot were in use until the 1970's.

10. Smallpox Vaccine Research At The Medical College Of Wisconsin

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin have been studying vaccinia virus, which makes up the smallpox vaccine, for years as a way of understanding how viruses and vaccines work at the cellular level. That research, funded largely by the federal government, may lead to advances in preventing and treating smallpox, which could have ramifications in times of bioterrorism. Vaccinia as Smallpox Vaccine Vaccinia virus was one of the first vaccines ever developed. Smallpox had killed hundreds of millions of people through the centuries, but in the late 1700s medical practitioners noticed that milkmaids who had been exposed to cowpox were immune to smallpox. They began taking cowpox from cows and scratching it into the arms of people to protect them against smallpox. At some point, cowpox virus was replaced by vaccinia virus, which is 90% identical to smallpox but only rarely causes health problems. Modern public health systems worldwide joined in a campaign to vaccinate populations against smallpox, and the dread disease was eradicated globally by the 1970s, at which point vaccination against the disease was discontinued. However, it is theoretically possible that a smallpox-like virus could re-emerge in nature as a result of the many poxviruses that exist in animal species. Furthermore, laboratories in the US and former Soviet Union are known to have stocks of the virus, perhaps refined as weapons. Other nations, potentially some that support terrorism, may also have stores of weaponized smallpox or the ability to produce it. Though unlikely, a smallpox attack would be highly contagious and could overwhelm communities if it occurs.

    Extractions: Smallpox lesions on skin are shown in this photograph taken in 1973 in Bangladesh. Smallpox infection was eliminated from the world in 1977. Smallpox is caused by variola virus with an incubation period of about 12 days following exposure. Initial symptoms include high fever, fatigue, and head and back aches. A characteristic rash, most prominent on the face, arms, and legs, follows in 2-3 days. The rash starts with flat red lesions that evolve at the same rate. Lesions become pus-filled and begin to crust early in the second week. Scabs develop and then separate and fall off after about 3-4 weeks. The majority of patients with smallpox recover, but death occurs in up to 30% of cases. Routine vaccination against smallpox ended in 1972. Microbiology and other forms

    Extractions: Smallpox is a serious, contagious, and sometimes fatal infectious disease. There is no specific treatment for smallpox disease, and the only prevention is vaccination. The name smallpox There are two clinical forms of smallpox. Variola major is the severe and most common form of smallpox, with a more extensive rash and higher fever. There are four types of variola major smallpox: ordinary (the most frequent type, accounting for 90% or more of cases); modified (mild and occurring in previously vaccinated persons); flat; and hemorrhagic (both rare and very severe). Historically, variola major has an overall fatality rate of about 30%; however, flat and hemorrhagic smallpox usually are fatal. Variola minor is a less common presentation of smallpox, and a much less severe disease, with death rates historically of 1% or less.

To sustain itself, the virus must pass from person to person in a continuing chain of infection and is spread by inhalation of air droplets or aerosols. Twelve to 14 days after infection, the patient typically becomes febrile and has severe aching pains and prostration. Some 2 to 3 days later, a papular rash develops over the face and spreads to the extremities (

16. The Demon In The Freezer
    The story of how smallpox, a disease of officially eradicated twenty years ago, became the biggest bioterrorist threat we now face.  
    http://cryptome.org/smallpox-wmd.htm
    
    Extractions: T HE smallpox virus first became entangled with the human species somewhere between three thousand and twelve thousand years ago possibly in Egypt at the time of the Pharaohs. Somewhere on earth at roughly that time, the virus jumped out of an unknown animal into its first human victim, and began to spread. Viruses are parasites that multiply inside the cells of their hosts, and they are the smallest life forms. Smallpox developed a deep affinity for human beings. It is thought to have killed more people than any other infectious disease, including the Black Death of the Middle Ages. It was declared eradicated from the human species in 1979, after a twelve-year effort by a team of doctors and health workers from the World Health Organization. Smallpox now exists only in laboratories. Smallpox is explosively contagious, and it travels through the air. Virus particles in the mouth become airborne when the host talks. If you inhale a single particle of smallpox, you can come down with the disease. After you've been infected, there is a typical incubation period of ten days. During that time, you feel normal. Then the illness hits with a spike of fever, a backache, and vomiting, and a bit later tiny red spots appear all over the body. The spots turn into blisters, called pustules, and the pustules enlarge, filling with pressurized opalescent pus. The eruption of pustules is sometimes called the splitting of the dermis. The skin doesn't break, but splits horizontally, tearing away from its underlayers. The pustules become hard, bloated sacs the size of peas, encasing the body with pus, and the skin resembles a cobbled stone street.
