  1. west indian smallpox

    West Indian smallpox is a strain of the deadly infectious disease smallpox, caused by the variola virus. It was commonly found in the West Indies during the times when smallpox was still prevalent. Like other forms of smallpox, it spread primarily through direct, prolonged face-to-face contact with an individual infected with the virus. The term is mostly historical, as smallpox has been eradicated since 1980 through a worldwide vaccination program led by the World Health Organization.
