Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Smallpox was one of the most feared infectious diseases in human history. For centuries, epidemics crossed continents, killed millions of people, left survivors with permanent scars, and caused blindness in many communities. The long fight against smallpox also produced one of medicine's greatest achievements: vaccination. Smallpox and the Birth of Vaccination follows the history of this deadly disease from its earliest known evidence to its global eradication. It traces the spread of smallpox through Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas and examines how trade, war, migration, colonial expansion, and population movement helped shape major epidemics. In this book you will find: - The early history and possible origins of smallpox- A clear explanation of the variola virus, smallpox symptoms, transmission, immunity, and survival- The devastating effects of smallpox epidemics across different societies- The impact of smallpox on Indigenous populations and colonial communities in the Americas- The history of variolation and early attempts to prevent infection- Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and the introduction of variolation to Britain- Edward Jenner, cowpox, and the development of the smallpox vaccine- The growth of vaccination programs during the nineteenth century- Vaccine resistance, compulsory vaccination, and debates about public health- The development of safer vaccines and modern disease prevention- The World Health Organization campaign to eradicate smallpox- Epidemiology, surveillance, containment, and ring vaccination- The final naturally occurring cases of smallpox and the declaration of global eradication- The lasting influence of vaccination on immunity, infectious disease control, and global health>By the twentieth century, international cooperation made an even greater goal possible. Health workers searched for cases, traced outbreaks, vaccinated vulnerable communities, and used surveillance and containment to stop transmission. In 1980, the World Health Organization officially declared smallpox eradicated, making it the first human infectious disease eliminated worldwide through a coordinated public health campaign. Smallpox and the Birth of Vaccination brings together medical history, vaccines, epidemics, immunity, infectious disease, epidemiology, and global health to explain how one of humanity's oldest diseases became the center of one of its greatest medical breakthroughs.…
