WHAT DOES VARIOLA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

variola

Smallpox

Smallpox was an infectious disease caused by either of two virus variants, Variola major and Variola minor.[1] The disease is also known by the Latin names Variola or Variola vera, derived from varius or varus. The disease was originally known in English as the "pox"[2] or "red plague";[3] the term "smallpox" was first used in Britain in the 15th century to distinguish variola from the "great pox".[4] The last naturally occurring case of smallpox was diagnosed on 26 October 1977.[5] Smallpox was localized in small blood vessels of the skin and in the mouth and throat. In the skin it resulted in a characteristic maculopapular rash and, later, raised fluid-filled blisters. V. major produced a more serious disease and had an overall mortality rate of 30–35%. V. minor caused a milder form of disease which killed about 1% of its victims.[6][7] Long-term complications of V. major infection included characteristic scars, commonly on the face, which occur in 65–85% of survivors.
