Step 4. Find the author of the information online. If citing an article that has an author's name, you will use the author rather than the website as part of your citation.

Early Victims. Smallpox is thought to have originated in India or Egypt at least 3,000 years ago. The earliest evidence for the disease comes from the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses V, who died in 1157 B.C. His mummified remains show telltale pockmarks on his skin.arly Victims. Smallpox is thought to have originated in India or Egypt at least 3,000 years ago.

The disease was originally known in English as the  pox  or  red plague ; the term smallpox was first used in Britain in the 15th century to distinguish variola from the great pox (syphilis). The last naturally occurring case of smallpox (Variola minor) was diagnosed on 26 October 1977. Infection with smallpox is focused in small blood vessels of the skin and in the mouth and throat before disseminating. In the skin it results 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 30â35 percent.
