  • Although the only known stocks of the smallpox virus are contained in laboratories in the United States and Russia, government and health officials fear that others may have the virus and use it as a terrorist weapon. (nationaljewish.org)
  • People who live with atopic dermatitis patients also do not receive vaccines because they could spread the vaccinia virus in the vaccine to patients who might later develop eczema vaccinatum. (nationaljewish.org)
  • We expect that our research program will lead to safer smallpox vaccination for atopic dermatitis patients and a more thorough protection of our population against a bioterrorist attack using the smallpox virus,' said Dr. Leung. (nationaljewish.org)

  • To reduce the risk of EV, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health, has launched the Atopic Dermatitis and Vaccinia Network (ADVN), an international research group dedicated to helping everyone acquire immunity to the smallpox virus without the life-threatening complications. (ohsu.edu)
  • The Animal Studies Consortium component of the ADVN will establish animal models of eczema and investigate their immune responses to vaccinia -- the virus used in smallpox vaccine. (ohsu.edu)
  • Cowpox virus "scarification" by Jenner, used to induce protective immunity against smallpox, is not a single species but a group of up to 5 virus species that infects cows, humans, and other animals. (medscape.com)
  • Smallpox is caused by a virus called Variola, there's Variola major and Variola minor. (lifeandhealth.org)
  • The vaccinia virus Tiantan strain (VTT) was used to vaccinate against smallpox in China 42 years ago. (nature.com)
  • For those who received the vaccine, there's an added bonus that was unexpected: potential immunity to the monkeypox virus. (qnotescarolinas.com)
  • Vaccinia is a live virus vaccine that was last routinely used in the United States in 1972. (netce.com)
  • As we reported over the weekend, the new plandemic being planned and rolled out to instill fear and sell more vaccines is the "monkeypox" virus. (oom2.com)
  • The virus is part of a family of viruses called poxviruses that include smallpox. (ohsu.edu)
  • Smallpox vaccine administration is warranted in individuals exposed to the virus or facing a real risk of exposure. (who.int)
  • Two additional vaccinia virus infections were identified, however neither of these additional cases had recent smallpox vaccination. (cdc.gov)
  • Although the precise origin of smallpox vaccine remains obscure, these early efforts using cowpox virus (called vaccinia virus by Jenner) led to broader use of the practice, forming the beginning of what we now know as vaccination. (cdc.gov)
  • There is no evidence of smallpox transmission anywhere in the world. (cdc.gov)
  • The earliest evidence of smallpox comes from ancient Egypt circa 1157 BCE, where the mummified remains of a pockmarked Ramses V were uncovered. (medscape.com)
  • The diseases are so much alike the same vaccine is used to treat both viruses. (qnotescarolinas.com)
  • The DTaP vaccines do not provide 100% protection against these diseases, but they do provide 80 to 90% vaccine effectiveness. (peoplespharmacy.com)
  • Today, our programmed fear of smallpox, flu, and other 'dread diseases' is out of all proportion with reality, and shows that we have forgotten how potent basic, natural, common-sense measures can be in keeping individuals, and thus society, healthy. (truthiverse.com)
  • Smallpox was spread mainly by direct and prolonged face-to-face contact between people through droplets from the nose and mouth when infected individuals coughed or sneezed -- similar to how many other infectious diseases are spread. (cdc.gov)
  • Developing a vaccine that is safer than first-generation vaccines yet highly immunogenic [producing immunity or an immune response] is crucial to constructing a prevention plan in the event of bioterrorist attack. (news-medical.net)
