A vaccinia virus renaissance
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2012 In 1796, Edward Jenner introduced the concept of vaccination with cowpox virus, an Orthopoxvirus within the family Poxviridae that elicits cross protective immunity against related orthopoxviruses, including smallpox virus (variola virus).

Public health reforms and the mortality decline in nineteenth‐century Italy
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the impact of Italy's 1887–8 health reforms on mortality, contributing to the historical debate on the state's role in Europe's health transition. Leveraging event‐study‐style difference‐in‐differences approach, we assess the effectiveness of the Crispi–Pagliani reforms, which strengthened public health governance and ...

Evidence for Residual Immunity to Smallpox After Vaccination and Implications for Re-emergence.
Military Medicine, 2019 INTRODUCTION Smallpox has been eradicated but advances in synthetic biology have increased the risk of its re-emergence. Residual immunity in individuals who were previously vaccinated may mitigate the impact of an outbreak, but there is a high degree of

A guide to heat shock factors as multifunctional transcriptional regulators
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The heat shock factors (HSFs) are evolutionarily conserved transcription factors best known as regulators of molecular chaperone genes in response to heat shock and other protein‐damaging stresses. Vertebrate HSFs, HSF1‐5, HSFX, and HSFY, are implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including organismal development and cancer ...

From local knowledge and science to policy: Lessons learned from Fiji's valuable grouper fisheries
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Pacific Island communities are heavily dependent on fisheries for subsistence and livelihoods. Yet, despite their importance, coastal fisheries are poorly managed and commercial pressures increasingly threaten them. Groupers (Epinephelidae) are exceptionally vulnerable to overexploitation due to aspects of their biology while their economic ...

Evidence of Long-Distance Aerial Convection of Variola Virus and Implications for Disease Control
Viruses, 2019 Two distinct phenomena of airborne transmission of variola virus (smallpox) were described in the pre-eradication era—direct respiratory transmission, and a unique phenomenon of transmission over greater distances, referred to as “aerial ...

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1907 In an experience with smallpox limited to the town of Colorado and occurring between the dates of April 7 and May 20, 1907, the following conditions were encountered. They are interesting as confirming previous observations as to the coincidence of variola and vaccinia.
