As part of its bioterrorism-response plans, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is currently expanding its stockpiles of pharmaceuticals and other medial supplies. Anthrax Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by a spore-forming bacterium. The serious forms of human anthrax are inhalation anthrax, cutaneous anthrax and intestinal anthrax. Symptoms of disease vary depending on how the disease was contracted, but usually occur within seven days after exposure. Initial symptoms of inhalation anthrax infection may resemble a common cold. After several days, the symptoms may progress to severe breathing problems and shock. Inhalation anthrax is often fatal. Cutaneous anthrax may occur when the skin surface is exposed to the bacterium and a sore or swelled area appears on the skin. A central area of ulceration develops and a very dark, brownish scab forms. It can be painless and it may be accompanied by a fever.

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-Mail Services CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com The smallpox scenario By Unmesh Kher Story Tools As the U.N. and member governments seek to uncover whatever illicit weapons programs Iraq might have, few tasks are as urgent as determining whether Baghdad has obtained the smallpox virus. The only declared reserves of the 120 known strains of smallpox are in two labs, in the U.S. and Russia, but fears that Iraq may possess the virus have lately come to a head. Why the suspicions? As the New York Times first reported last week, the CIA is investigating the possibility that a Russian scientist, Nelli Maltseva, ferried a nasty strain of smallpox from the Research Institute for Viral Preparations in Moscow to Iraq in 1990. She died two years ago. The allegation caused quite a kerfuffle in Russia. Maltseva's daughter Natalia, a cardiologist, has threatened to sue the newspaper for having "blackened her mother's reputation." The institute's current director, Vitali Zverev, says the last time Maltseva handled smallpox was in 1982, which was also the last time she traveled abroadto Finland, not Iraq. Of course, none of this proves Saddam does not have the smallpox virusand there's some evidence he does. Eight of 69 Iraqi POWs screened during the Gulf War were immune to smallpox.

KidsHealth Teens Infections You're probably wondering what smallpox is and why people are worried about it. There seems to be a lot of fear and confusion about this disease - let's learn the facts. What Is Smallpox? Smallpox is an infection caused by a virus known as the variola virus. Although their names may sound similar, smallpox is not related to chicken pox, which is a different, milder infection caused by another type of virus, the varicella virus. The last known case of naturally occuring smallpox in a human occurred in 1977. That's a good thing because smallpox infections can often be quite serious - and sometimes fatal. For thousands of years, smallpox infections would spread through towns and cities. A smallpox infection was easily recognized by its characteristic bumpy rash and the severe fever and pneumonia it often caused. When smallpox infections still existed, smallpox was less infectious (less easily spread) than chicken pox. And before measles immunizations were developed, an outbreak of measles usually caused more deaths than did an outbreak of smallpox. Still, smallpox was very dangerous, often resulting in severe illness and sometimes death. Outbreaks of smallpox had a great impact on many communities. No wonder people feared it for thousands of years. Printer -friendly version Email this article to a friend Send email to us Jump to another section of this article What Is Smallpox?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent a manual to all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Monday with instructions on how to vaccinate entire populations within a week of an outbreak. Only scientific research centers in the United States and Russia are known to have the smallpox virus, but federal officials are concerned terrorist groups might obtain the virus and release it in the United States. The virus could kill up to 30 percent of those infected. Called the Smallpox Vaccination Guide, the CDC manual states that in the event of an outbreak, rapid vaccination "may be required" to stop the virus from spreading.

KidsHealth Parents Infections You're probably wondering what smallpox is and why people seem worried about it. Read on for the facts about smallpox. What Is Smallpox? Smallpox is a type of infection caused by a virus known as variola. It infects only humans. The last known case of naturally occurring smallpox was in Somalia in 1977; there have been no cases since that time. That's a good thing because smallpox infections can often be quite serious - and sometimes fatal. For thousands of years, smallpox infections would spread through towns and cities. It was easily recognized by its characteristic bumpy rash and the high fever and pneumonia it caused. Although their names may sound similar, smallpox is not at all related to chicken pox , a different, milder infection caused by another type of virus known as varicella. You may be surprised to learn that, when smallpox still existed, it was actually less infectious (less easily spread) than chicken pox. And before measles immunizations were developed, measles was more deadly during an outbreak than smallpox.

Civil War U. S. Smallpox Hospital Minton House Cape Girardeau, Missouri U. S. Smallpox Hospital A t the outbreak of the Civil War the Minton House was occupied by Matthew Moore, a prominent lawyer and publisher of the Cape Girardeau Eagle. The weekly newspaper advocated secession from the Union. During the war, Union troops turned it into a pro-union newspaper. The house was used as a Military Smallpox Hospital during the Civil War. Legend has it that the house is haunted, perhaps by one of the many boys who died there during the war. Stories also tell of a tunnel running from the celler of the house and opening into the Old Lorimier Cemetery. The cemetery is only one block east toward the Mississippi River bluffs. It was believed to be part of the Underground Railroad that helped slaves to escape to the north. The house was built in 1846 for the Rev. and Mrs. Adriel Sherwood, pastor of the Baptist church. It was there private home and a day school. He taught young men literature and languages. In 1870 a Presbyterian pastor founded a girl's school on the property. This school reportedly formed the nucleus for classes in the Normal School, the forerunner of Southeast Missouri State University which was established in 1873.

The "white man" diseases measles, chicken pox, typhus, typhoid fever, dysentery, scarlet fever, diphtheria, and after 1832, cholera were devastating to the American Indian. Lumped together, these diseases did not equal the havoc of smallpox in terms of number of deaths, realignment of tribal alliances, and subsequent changes in Canadian and American Indian Culture. Sparse populations on the Plains and in the pristine valleys of the Rocky Mountains prevented a buildup of communicable diseases. With the exception of man's oldest disease, Malaria, the scourges of mankind have resulted from dense populations living in small compact areas overcrowded cities with little or no sanitation. Except venereal disease, Indians as hunter-gatherers were free of the communicable diseases. Smallpox passes through the air in droplets discharged from the nose and mouth. It spreads from the lungs of an infected person into the lungs of a susceptible person. Smallpox can survive years on the clothing and bedding used by smallpox victims. In the early seventeen hundreds, a smallpox outbreak in Quebec resulted in many deaths. In 1854, a pipeline laid through where the victims had been buried resulted in another smallpox outbreak.

War against terror WASHINGTON (CNN) U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the National Security Council met Thursday to review a Pentagon plan to begin inoculating some 500,000 military troops against smallpox. President Bush is to make a final decision, but the Thursday presentation was seen as a key step in the process. The Pentagon is pressing for an inoculation plan in light of growing evidence that Iraq has stockpiles of the smallpox virus. The first troops likely to receive the vaccine are those who would provide emergency "first responder" assistance or medical treatment if there was an attack in the United States. Troops deploying to high-threat areas such as the Persian Gulf would also get the vaccine as quickly as it is available. Civilian health care workers across the United States would also be among those in a first wave of inoculations.

Eisenhower Executive Office Building Room 450 Fact Sheet Background Information FAQ 2:12 P.M. EST THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Since our country was attacked 15 months ago, Americans have been forced to prepare for a variety of threats we hope will never come. We have stepped up security at our ports and borders, we've expanded our ability to detect chemical and biological threats, we've increased support for first responders, we made public made our public health care system better able to track and treat disease. By preparing at home and by pursuing enemies abroad, we're adding to the security of our nation. I thank the members of my team who are here who are adding to the security of our nation. One potential danger to America is the use of the smallpox virus as a weapon of terror. Smallpox is a deadly but preventable disease. Most Americans who are 34 or older had a smallpox vaccination when they were children. By 1972, the risk of smallpox was so remote that routine vaccinations were discontinued in the United States. In 1980, the World Health Organization declared that smallpox had been completely irradiated and, since then, there has not been a single natural case of the disease anywhere in the world.
