Today people who work in laboratories with the virus are at risk of contracting smallpox. Before eradication, risk factors included: physical contact with a patient with the disease, contact with contaminated body fluids, and exposure to contaminated aerosolized particles.
Risk Factors
Prior to Eradication
- Physical contact with someone with smallpox
- Direct contact with infected bodily fluids
- Direct contact with contaminated surfaces
- Exposure to aerosolized particles from someone with smallpox
Present
- Laboratory work with the virus
