Abstract
A wide range of microbial pathogens of humans, domestic animals and crop plants are available as potential agents for biological warfare or, nowadays, bioterrorism. Among those that could be used to produce disease in humans, the smallpox virus is unique in that it produces a very severe disease that is contagious, i.e. transmissible from one person to another.https://doi.org/10.1071/MA03222
