Concept explainers
(1)
To determine:
The reasons that government can cite for maintaining smallpox viruses.
Concept introduction:
The United States and Russia have repeatedly agreed to destroy their stocks of the smallpox virus, but the deadline has been put off many times. In the meantime, the entire genome of variola virus has been sequenced. Smallpox is an infectious disease of the past that was eliminated worldwide by vaccination. Affected people become ill with high fever and rashes.
(2)
To determine:
Whether laboratory stores of smallpox viruses should be destroyed.
Concept introduction:
The United States and Russia have repeatedly agreed to destroy their stocks of the smallpox virus, but the deadline has been put off many times. In the meantime, the entire genome of variola virus has been sequenced. Smallpox is an infectious disease of the past that was eliminated worldwide by vaccination. Affected people become ill with high fever and rashes.
(3)
To determine:
Weather elimination of all laboratories stock really be the extinction of smallpox virus.
