| Resumen en español | Smallpox, the disease that probably caused the highest death toll in human history, was declared eradicated in 1980 after an intensified campaign based on immunization with a vaccine initially developed by the British country doctor Edward Jenner in 1796. The classical story is that Jenner put to experimentation the folk story suggesting that milkmaids previously infected with a mild disease of cows (cowpox) were protected from smallpox.La viruela, la enfermedad que probablemente caus el mayor nmero de muertes en la historia de la humanidad, fue declarada erradicada en 1980 despus de una campaa intensificada que se bas en la inmunizacin con una vacuna inicialmente desarrollada por el mdico britnico Edward Jenner en 1796. La historia clsica es que Jenner puso en experimentacin la creencia popular que sugera que las ordeadoras previamente infectadas con una enfermedad benigna de las vacas (cowpox o viruela de las vacas) quedaban protegidas contra la viruela. |
