Disease - Smallpox, caused by Variola.
Discovery - Although the exact origin of smallpox is unknown, historically, early descriptions picture a disease that coincides with what smallpox is identified as. These original written descriptions were found in China, in the 4th century CE. Also, other early descriptions have also appeared in India and Asia Minor.
Origin - Smallpox is thought to have been originated near the 3rd century, before common era, in Egypt and India around 3,000 years ago

Below is a microscopic look at the Variola virus.]]> 2018-11-08 18:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/obalisky/7oj505g63how/wish/302241111 Symptoms and Treatment obalisky https://padlet.com/obalisky/7oj505g63how/wish/304459287 Symptoms - fever, headache, body aching, vomiting, mouth sores and blisters, rashes and blindness
Treatment - the only way to treat smallpox is my vaccination within 4 days of infection to the disease.
Vaccinations - In attempts to suppress this devastating disease, Variolation, one method of vaccination was the use of the virus variola, which caused Smallpox. This method introduced Variola, from smallpox sores, by scratching or inhaling to enter the body. Due to this, most people would obtain symptoms related with smallpox, however less people died from variolation rather than naturally obtaining smallpox. This process was used to control the virus, however would later prove more useful.
In 1796, however, Edward Jenner, an English doctor, figured out that milkmaids who had previously acquired cowpox, did not appear to show symptoms of smallpox, even after the process of variolation. With this knowledge, he created an experiment where he introduced material from cowpox sores into a boy, Phipps, then later exposed, the same boy, to the variola virus. The conclusion was that Phipps had never obtained smallpox. Thus, creating the vaccination that later would create the eradication of smallpox.]]> 2018-11-14 18:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/obalisky/7oj505g63how/wish/304459287 Citations ksun4 https://padlet.com/obalisky/7oj505g63how/wish/304464286

    Lytic or Lysogenic Cycle- When the smallpox virus attacks a cell, it goes through the lytic cycle in order to grow in number

    Below is a diagram of how the variola virus would attack the body's cells.]]>     2018-11-16 04:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/obalisky/7oj505g63how/wish/305118095     Interesting and Relevant Video clip ksun4 https://padlet.com/obalisky/7oj505g63how/wish/305119610 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqUFy-t4MlQ]]> 2018-11-16 05:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/obalisky/7oj505g63how/wish/305119610 Additional & Interesting Facts ksun4 https://padlet.com/obalisky/7oj505g63how/wish/305119924 Additionally
